Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad 24 and RTA F40PH 109 at the Randoph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in February 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler.
Christopher L. Barrett, Executive Director, Virginia Bioinformatics Institute/Professor of Computer Science, Virginia Tech. Dr. Barrett’s talk entitled “Massively Interactive Systems: Thinking and Deciding in the Age of Big Data"
Abstract: This talk discusses advanced computationally assisted reasoning about large interaction-dominated systems. Current questions in science, from the biochemical foundations of life to the scale of the world economy, involve details of huge numbers and levels of intricate interactions. Subtle indirect causal connections and vastly extended definitions of system boundaries dominate the immediate future of scientific research. Beyond sheer numbers of details and interactions, the systems are variously layered and structured in ways perhaps best described as networks. Interactions include, and often co-create, these morphological and dynamical features, which can interact in their own right. Such “massively interacting” systems are characterized by, among other things, large amounts of data and branching behaviors. Although the amount of associated data is large, the systems do not even begin to explore their entire phase spaces. Their study is characterized by advanced computational methods. Major methodological revisions seem to be indicated.
Heretofore unavailable and rapidly growing basic source data and increasingly powerful computing resources drive complex system science toward unprecedented detail and scale. There is no obvious reason for this direction in science to change. The cost of acquiring data has historically dominated scientific costs and shaped the research environment in terms of approaches and even questions. In the several years, as the costs of social data, biological data and physical data have plummeted on a per-unit basis and as the volume of data is growing exponentially, the cost drivers for scientific research have clearly shifted from data generation to storage and analytical computation-based methods. The research environment is rapidly being reshaped by this change and, in particular, the social and bio–sciences are revolutionized by it. Moreover, the study of socially– and biologically–coupled systems (e.g., societal infrastructures and infectious disease public health policy analysis) is in flux as computation-based methods begin to greatly expand the scope of traditional problems in revolutionary ways.
How does this situation serve to guide the development of “information portal technology” for complex system science and for decision support? An example of an approach to detailed computational analysis of social and behavioral interaction with physical and infrastructure effects in the immediate aftermath of a devastating disaster will be described in this context.

CSS have been so impressed by the eSystem that they will soon be selling them through their retail stores both online and at CSS HQ

Chicago South Shore & South Bend railroad Pullman built coach 7 at Randolph Street, Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in February 1982, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. The winter of 1982 was a tough one for the South Shore. New equipment was on order but had not yet arrived. As a result of layed up older rolling stock, the South Shore was forced to borrow bi-level gallery cars and diesels from the RTA.
Chicago South Shore & South Bend Railroad Pullman built 11 at the Randolph Street Station in Chicago, Illinois on an unknown day in March 1979, Kodachrome by Chuck Zeiler. Number 11 was built by Paullman Car and Manufacturing Company in 1926, part of the 11-15 number series built on that order. As originally built it was 60' long and seated 56 passengers. In 1942 the South Shore began a program to increase the length of the 60' coaches, and by 1946, number 11 had a 17' 6" section cut into it, resulting in a seating increase from 56 to 80 passengers. This car represents one of the early rebuilds with the horns exposed. Later rebuilds had the horns mounted over the center of the roof and covered with a fairing.
