Modern society is increasingly dependent on software-integrated systems, whose science and engineering is often guided by societal values and preferences. Such systems require the understanding of complex, interacting processes, as well as societal preferences, laws, and policies, such that they operate in a regulated environment, often interacting with a multitude of existing information systems.

• Transportation cyber-physical systems
• Smart cities, smart buildings, connected communities
• Distributed energy systems: microgrids, energy and power management, policy-driven and market-based solutions
• Emergency response systems for communities
• Geographic-scale monitoring of the biome for outbreak prediction and prevention
• Architecture for societal-scale systems that can be parameterized with social context
• Manufacturing systems: monitoring and control, including quality assurance
