| Abstract: | The interdisciplinary demands for handling complex societal problems require a combination of knowledge coming from different disciplines. In order to establish this a new field of science is created. In combining the ideas and methods developed in the area of natural, technical, and social sciences for handling complex societal problems, new ideas and methods can developed and some of the already existing ideas and methods can be integrated. Combining useful knowledge derived from several disciplines in a fruitful way to enhance the problem handling process of complex societal problems is the key question of this field. |
