CP Lab Newcastle

The quality of urban life in the future will increasingly depend on the complex relationship between computing systems, engineering, physics, and human behavior. This relationship between people and the technology we use will increasingly affect every aspect of our daily lives, from how we power our homes and businesses to how we produce our food. Business, government, and industry will rely on integrated technology that could offer vast improvements to our lives, but which is also vulnerable to cyberattack and software failure. The need to understand and bring these different elements together to work efficiently will be critically important for society to thrive.
