VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland is the biggest multitechnological applied research organisation in Northern Europe. VTT provides high-end technology solutions and innovation services.
Quality, safety and efficiency requirements on increasingly complex technological systems call for better methods and approaches for the development and control of these systems. Examples of complex technological systems are manufacturing networks, factories, machines, vehicles, and control and supervision systems. The systems are combinations of technologies, humans and ways of action. All three aspects of the system are essential. The goal of the industrial systems research is to develop better methods and tools to deal with the challenges of new technologies and complicated applications.
