Y.H.J. Au and B.J. Griffiths (Department ofManufacturing and
Engineering Systems, BruneI University, Uxbridge, Middlesex, UK) To
create, to engineer, to err and to destroy are basic human traits.
Human progress depends upon the balanced exploitation of some of
these traits. Our quality and standards of living are closely
intertwined with the effective management ofsome of these traits
and the limited physical resources that are at our disposal. The
only sensible approach to harmonize and blend these two spheres is
to effectively monitor, diagnose and control our own actions and
reactions, at every stage. We are now privileged to live in an age
of advanced technology which is significantly influencing the basic
infrastructures of our societies, on which our lives nowdepend. The
rapid rate atwhichthe technological changesarespreading is causing
much confusion and uncertainty in communities, governments and
industries at different levels. This, in tum, is creating and
widening gaps and mismatches of unknown dimensions in almost all
human endeavours. Such undesirable tendencies mustbe monitored,
diagnosed, prognosed and controlled with the utmost haste and
urgency.
