Home Courses Next Generation Infrastructures Subjects Module 2: Fuzzy borders: expansion and interconnection of infrastructure systems

Introduction

This module’s course material will show you the increasing complexity of infrastructure systems, caused by expansion and interconnection of infrastructure system ( across national borders and across the borders between infrastructure sectors) and the need for standards.  But we also show another development: inverse infrastructures ( bottom-up, user-driven, self-organizing networks).
