Cyber-physical Systems: The World is Going Smart
- EN - DE
From computer chips triggering an airbag to smart cities: 'cyber-physical systems' are changing our world. During CPS-week (April 11 -14. 2016), the international scientific community comes together in Vienna. One inputs the data, leaves the computer do the calculations, and gets a result back at the end - this is how one used to work with computer programs for a long time. Today however, this is not enough anymore. Computer programs control the airbag in our cars, the temperature in our homes and the beat of our pacemakers. Software and physical components are growing together into integrated systems, and many such systems are getting interconnected, so that as a whole, they are able to solve a common problem.
