DESCRIPTION:We invite you to join us for this upcoming IEEE Chapter Meeting
  of the IEEE Boston Sensors Council and IEEE Boston Solid-State Circuits S
 ociety Chapters. Explore how models are incorporating data with knowledge 
 and advanced methodologies. Contribute your thoughts and ideas on the futu
 re change to address sustainable needs and goals.\n\nIn this program\, Dr.
  Tiziano Distefano will present on his work for "Integrated Assessment Mod
 els: methods and applications to understand and govern complexity" followe
 d by a facilitated discussion and Q&A.\n\nAbstract: Climate change and inc
 reasing inequality have emerged as twin threats: we are not only failing t
 o solve these problems but are in fact worsening them. Inertia and relucta
 nce to change are in part due to the difficulty in understanding complex s
 ystems. One promising approach is given by the so-called Integrated Assess
 ment Models (IAMs) which merge diverse knowledge\, data\, and methodologie
 s to address complex environmental problems and their connections with the
  economic system. IAMs provide a coherent quantitative framework to build 
 up Policy scenario analysis designed to identify fine-tuned policies and e
 nvision feasible pathways toward an equitable low-carbon transition. Sever
 al applications for the Italian and France cases will be shown\, together 
 with possible future applications for the US with a focus on the relations
  between technological progress\, labor\, and social welfare.\n\nCoffee\, 
 tea\, and snacks will be available!\n\nCo-sponsored by: IEEE Boston Sensor
