Abstract

A German project is presented which was initiated in order to analyse the potential and risks associated with Cyber-Physical Systems. These have been recognised as the next wave of innovation in information and communication technology. Cyber-Physical Systems are herein understood in a very broad sense as the integration of embedded systems with global networks such as the Internet. The survey aims at deepening understanding the impact of those systems at technological and economical level as well as at political and sociological level. The goal of the study is to collect arguments for decision makers both in business and politics to take actions in research, legislation and business development.
