What is it about?
Societal infrastructures, such as power grids, water systems, datacenters, and more, are going through digital transformation (DX). Increasingly, they are relying on computing techniques for automated management. However, the quality of existing DX techniques has not caught up to the level of maturity and rigor in core computer science. Often, they’re little more than loose practices and ad hoc tools, leading to resilience challenges for societal operation. This is a golden opportunity for computer scientists to play a unique role, collaborating with researchers and practitioners in infrastructure sectors, to define this exciting science in the making. In this CACM article, we sketched a vision with a three-layer stack for “digital unification.”
