This book has been written on the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of the foundation of the Institut Frederik Bull (IFB) by Bull. It operates as a think tank with working groups studying the societal impacts of informatics and economy digitalization. The working group linked to this book investigates the complexity of Systems of Systems (SoS).

IFB has developed collaborations with management and engineering schools (EMLV, ESILV, IIM) located at Le Pôle Universitaire Leonard de Vinci in Paris-La Défense.
