Why are Real-time and Cyber-physical Systems Important?

The global industrial sector is poised to undergo a fundamental structural change akin to the industrial revolution as we usher in the Internet of Things

As the 'Internet of Things' becomes more pervasive in our lives, precise timing will be critical for these systems to be more responsive, reliable and efficient.

To realize the full potential of CPS, we will have to rebuild computing and networking abstractions. These abstractions will have to embrace physical dynamics and computation in a unified way.
