<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:small">for some of us "critical infrastructures" means the ones necessary to maintain our current developed status.<br>

<div class="x_gmail_default" style="font-size:small">I think if we are looking for fundamentals as it relates to computer and information systems and all related disciplines i recommend greatly a book by C. West Churchman, Design of Inquiry Systems where he
use the various western philosophies of truth to design the inquire process for each philosophy as a model on how to build information and computer systems. The book was written quite a long time ago. Mitroff and i wrote a paper on how to apply it to human
collaborative efforts and it is in chapter 2 of the <br>
Delphi method book (1975) free on my website <a href="http://is.njit.edu/turoff">
http://is.njit.edu/turoff</a> There is also a recent paper by Limestone and i that appeared in a special issue of Technological Forecasting and Social Change recently devoted to the Delphi method. Essentially one of our views is that the the internet has
given us an age of participation, but what is important for the future is bringing about an age of collaboration.<br>

state. So there are many of us that are worried of the vulnerabilities of our multi set of independent electrical networks.<br>
