SUMMARY:June Slugs and Steins with Distinguished Professor Andrew Fisher
DESCRIPTION:Opportunities to enhance groundwater recharge with net metering and levee setbacks\nAs climate change\, population growth\, and changing land use put increasing pressure on groundwater supplies\, communities are searching for smarter and more sustainable ways to manage water. One promising approach is “managed recharge” — guiding stormwater and excess surface water back into underground aquifers to replenish vital water reserves.\n\nIn this talk\, we’ll explore how managed recharge works\, why it matters\, and how it can benefit communities\, agriculture\, ecosystems\, and long-term water resilience. We’ll look at how heavy rain events and stormwater runoff — often viewed as problems — can become valuable opportunities to restore groundwater supplies when managed effectively and responsibly. \nThe talk will also highlight emerging research on where and how recharge projects can succeed without causing unintended environmental impacts\, along with a new incentive program designed to support landowners and tenants who help maintain these systems on their properties. We’ll consider how groundwater recharge efforts can connect with flood-risk reduction and river restoration strategies\, creating multi-benefit solutions for the future of water management. \n\nREGISTER

SUMMARY:Shen\, G. (CSE) - Library-Level Choreographic Programming
DESCRIPTION:Modern software increasingly relies on distributed systems to provide accessible\, scalable\,\nand reliable services. Choreographic programming brings a global perspective to distributed\nsystem development: programmers write a single program that describes the behavior of a\nwhole system\, and a compiler projects that global description into local programs run by each\nnode. By making distributed control flow explicit\, choreographic programming can rule out\nimportant classes of errors\, including deadlocks. This dissertation investigates library-level\nchoreographic programming\, an approach that embeds choreographic abstractions in existing\nhost languages rather than implementing them as standalone languages. The central claim\nis that the library approach can retain the safety and global reasoning principles of chore-\nographic programming while taking advantage of the host language’s features\, tools\, and\necosystem. First\, we present HasChor\, a first-of-its-kind library-level choreographic program-\nming language in Haskell\, built using freer monads. Next\, we generalize the design underlying\nHasChor to algebraic effects\, giving library-level implementations in Agda and OCaml. Fi-\nnally\, we present Parkour\, a backward-compatible extension to HasChor that adds a construct\nfor expressing parallel behavior in choreographies. Together\, these systems show that chore-\nographic programming can be implemented\, generalized\, and extended at the library level\,\nmaking global programming techniques available within practical host-language settings. \nEvent Host: Gan Shen\, Ph.D. Candidate\, Computer Science & Engineering  \nAdvisor: Lindsey Kuper  \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/93790633483?pwd=Jg8JlISsrwjLBaQIi1KdHk36bNMIv7.1 \nPasscode: 902041 \n

SUMMARY:Kim\, C. (CSE)- Toward Adaptive Graph Processing and Fault-Tolerant Agentic Inference on Heterogeneous Distributed Systems
DESCRIPTION:Edge computing and distributed AI systems increasingly operate under heterogeneous resources\, dynamic workloads\, and frequent failures\, requiring both adaptivity and fault tolerance for efficient execution. In heterogeneous edge clusters\, nodes differ significantly in CPU throughput\, memory capacity\, and network bandwidth\, while modern distributed GPU clusters supporting agentic LLM inference must recover large amounts of runtime state under routine failures. This dissertation addresses these challenges through two systems: Zsiga\, an adaptive distributed graph processing system for heterogeneous edge clusters\, and Forte\, a fault-tolerant KV cache recovery system for distributed agentic LLM inference. \nZsiga improves connected component computation through capacity-aware graph partitioning and runtime-adaptive boundary migration\, reducing execution time by up to 90.9% while eliminating out-of-memory failures under heterogeneous resource constraints. Forte addresses KV cache recovery for long-running agentic inference workloads\, where failures can erase accumulated reasoning trajectories and tool interaction histories. Forte exploits the observation that not all KV blocks are equally critical\, introducing criticality-aware erasure coding\, domain-diverse placement\, and prioritized foreground recovery to enable efficient recovery under correlated failures. Experimental results show that Forte is the only evaluated scheme that successfully resumes execution under correlated domain failures\, reducing foreground stall by 89.7% and end-to-end recovery latency by 50.6–58.9% at 2.0$\times$ memory overhead. Together\, these systems demonstrate how adaptivity and fault tolerance can improve the efficiency and resilience of distributed systems in heterogeneous and failure-prone environments. \nEvent Host: Chaeeun Kim\, Ph.D. Student\, Computer Science & Engineering \nAdvisor: Chen Qian & Liting Hu \nZoom: https://ucsc.zoom.us/j/9863615188?pwd=kTka0aZXJ070tor1EKvrt3X6AveBRp.1 \nPasscode:  cG5SL8 \n  \n
