Peter Thiel recently said, "We've had a lot of innovation in the world of bits; not so much in the world of atoms." He's right. But that's about to change. The expansion of the Internet of Things is making possible the ubiquitous access to information about energy, materials, devices, and systems. Now CyberPhysical systems can use IoT information in real-time to act on, control, or operate devices and systems in ways that will fundamentally alter everything in society.
