As a PhD student at the Databases group of the University of Twente, I am concerned with sensor data management. The "smart environments" of the future pose new requirements to data management: data models that incorporate time, (statistical) ways to deal with uncertainty, and a more sophisticated control flow.
[...] the process of computer science education involves teaching students not just how computer systems work, but, critically, how to see the world as computer scientists do. For example, it teaches people a stance from which the world reveals itself to them as available for certain kinds of representation and automation. Students learn to see iteration, recursion, and encapsulation in the settings around them (and will often begin to speak of them that way.)
