Is Connecting Bits to Atoms Sufficient?

CIDS is a discipline-agnostic platform for research convergence. We advocate a systems approach to problem solving to generate long term sustainable and adaptable solutions. Seamless integration and coordination of diverse sub-systems usually take longer to converge since multi-disciplinary domains need orchestration to address real-world problems.
