Storing and processing information using quantum two level systems (qubits) promises tremendous speed-up for certain computational tasks like prime factorisation and search problems.

"Human cyber-physical systems (h-CPS) are integrations of computational systems with physical processes that operate in concert with humans.

Utilities—water, gas, oil, electricity, and communications—are critical infrastructures that rely heavily on industrial networks and automated control systems. The disruption of any of these systems, could impact our society and our safety.

Abstract: All aspects of our lives are becoming ever more complex. This is primarily due to our ever increasing expectations to live a life that is more comfortable, efficient, inclusive, etc.
