Abstract

The study and creation of the infrastructure required to enable system-level science--the integration of diverse sources of knowledge about the constituent parts of a complex system with the goal of obtaining an understanding of the system's properties as a whole--is becoming increasingly important, spawning new knowledge in variety of fields at a rapid pace.
