Last month, while the President was promoting infrastructure repair old school, a panel of computing researchers was explaining the need for Intelligent Infrastructure to a group of Congressional representatives and staffers.
The presentation was sponsored by the Computing Research Association and hosted by Reps. Lamar Smith (R-TX), Chair of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), Ranking Member of the House Science, Space and Technology Committee. The panel was led by moderator Dan Lopresti, Chair of the Department of Computer Science at Lehigh University, and included members from academia and industry.
The panel urged Congressional representatives to do more than simply repair our crumbling infrastructure. Instead, the panel said, we need to update to Intelligent Infrastructure: the deep embedding of sensing, computing, and communications capabilities into traditional urban and rural physical infrastructures such as roads, buildings, bridges, pipelines, and water and electric distribution systems. The result would be increased efficiency, resiliency, and safety.
“The scope of the transformation we are facing is truly unprecedented,” Lopresti noted, adding, “It’s hard to find proper comparisons, but intelligent infrastructure is likely to have an impact on our society comparable to the establishment of the national electrical grid in the 1930s, the interstate highway system in the 1950s, and the Internet in the 1960s. Indeed, intelligent infrastructure can be viewed as the convergence of these three very powerful ideas.”
