Redefines problems outside normal boundaries and reaches solutions based on a new understanding of complex situations
Guides the applied emerging technology through a synthetic presentation of practical advanced case studies in the field
Shows that the integrated development of new technologies for the management of existing and new infrastructures produces less failures
