6 System Evolution: System of Systems A System-of-Systems (SoS) is a super-system comprised of elements that are themselves complex, independent systems which interact to achieve a common goal. In the System of Systems the resultant operative function is larger than the sum of the single components functions! ATM SoS Network Centric Heterogeneous SoS

25 Why NanoTechnologies? European Union Lisbon Statement Nanoscience, Nanomaterials and Nanotechnologies could open a new age, enable, support and drive the 21-st century Knowledge Based Society Why Multiscale Integration?? European Union - Sixth Framework Work Program Thematic Area 3 Nanotechnology and nanosciences, knowledge-based multifunctional materials, new production processes and devices -----The transformation of industry towards high-added value organisations necessitates real integrated approaches, either vertical, combining Materials Sciences, Nanotechnologies and Production technologies, as well as other technologies based e.g. on Information Technologies or Biotechnologies, or horizontal, combining multisectoral interests. An integrated approach should cover consumption patterns so that the complete industrial cycle conforms to the societal requirement for sustainability.
