            Abstract : 
The report of the President´s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) has placed CPS on the top of the priority list for federal research investment [6]. This article first reviews some of the challenges and promises of CPS, followed by an articulation of some specific challenges and promises that are more closely related to the sensor networks, ubiquitous and trustworthy computing conference.
