9. What is more important than this?
• “To our children and
children’s children, to whom
we elders owe an
explanation of the world that
is understandable, realistic,
forward-looking, and whole.”
– Stephen Jay Kline (1922-1997)
– From the dedication of “The Conceptual
Foundations of Multidisciplinary Thinking,”
Stanford University Press, 1995.

platform technologies and
smarter service systems
for every sector of
business and society
nested, networks systems
47. National Science Foundation
A feature of a service system is the
participation and cooperation of the customer
in the service and its delivery. A service system
then requires an integration of knowledge and
technologies from a range of disciplines, often
including engineering, computer science, social
science, behavioral science, and cognitive
science, paired with market knowledge to
increase its social benefit.
