Der Schwerpunkt dieses Buches liegt auf dem Management komplexer automatisierter Systeme in der industriellen Forschung. Behandelt werden spezifische Technologien und Anwendungsfelder, die Aspekte verschiedener Disziplinen in sich vereinigen. Breiter Raum wird der Diskussion über Optimierung, Kosten, Sicherheit und Belange des Umweltschutzes gegeben; anhand von Fallstudien werden Erfolg und Versagen verschiedenster komplexer Systeme erläutert.
