Cyber-Physical Systems and Pervasive Computing: Overlap or Divergent?

Cyber-physical systems represents a holistic approach to co-design cyber and physical aspects of networked embedded systems. Pervasive computing systems are built to seamlessly integrate computing into our everyday environments. How will the emergence of cyber-physical systems as a crosscutting discipline impact the field of pervasive computing? How can research in cyber-physical systems and pervasive computing leverage the advancements and insights made in both fields? Will we see a convergence of both fields? Or are there fundamental differences that will keep them separate but interleaving fields of research? This panel brings leading experts in cyber-physical systems and pervasive computing to brainstorm about these important issues.
