- work-groups supported by technology (human communication, cooperation, participation in decision processes, decision-support systems, ...)
- networks of groups and enterprises, together with the supporting networks of information, control and transportation systems (computer - supported cooperative work, virtual enterprises, issues of reengineering of complex hardware and software, technology and quality management)
- the impact of control and information technology on society at large (issues of national strategies, employment and qualification, education and training, the roles of trade unions, gender issues, ...)
- the impact of technology on the natural environment.
