In future: space colonies. Societal Automation, as this rapidly expanding human-centered technology penetration of our life can be called, has many aims: to make human-made engineering systems intuitive and safe in use; to strive to improve quality of our life; to provide comfortable and safe living habitat without degrading the surrounding natural environment to mention some – in addition to fulfilling other geo-engineering requirements and societal needs. AIMS: The first in the conference series on Societal Automation will attempt to look in a holistic way at the Societal Automation domain in order to try to determine what solutions, technologies, architectural frameworks, and design tools are going to be needed in the design, development and maintenance of future human-centered life-quality improving solutions and systems as well as (ultra) complex engineering systems to provide us with a living habitat and supporting infrastructure. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS John S.
