Smart Communities" initiative
The governor of your home state has decided to launch a "Smart
Communities" initiative. These communities will depend upon
cyber-physical systems to provide new or enhanced services. You
have been asked to prepare a presentation for a state-wide public
meeting to discuss the potential impact of "smart technologies" and
the underlying "cyber-physical systems" on critical infrastructures
for utilities and transportation in your home state. Research the
use of "smart" (cyber-physical) systems and technologies to build
the communities of the future (streets / transportation, community
services & facilities). Here are two URLs to help you get
started with your research: • NIST Cyber-Physical Systems Working
Group • Global Cities Team Challenge Answer the following
questions: 1. What types of cyber-physical systems will be required
to provide pervasive "awareness" and "reporting" capabilities in
the community infrastructure? 2. What types of cyber-physical
systems will provide the greatest future benefits to the residents
of such communities? 3. What are the anticipated economic, social,
and cultural impacts of technology enhanced smart cities? 4. What
are the anticipated vulnerabilities? For example, how could
terrorists or criminal attack or compromise cyber-physical systems?
Format your presentation as a list of talking points using MS Word
(not Power Point). Your document should be 2 - 3 pages in length.
Include APA format citations and references as appropriate to the
information used and the sources from which you obtained that
information.
