Zusammenfassung
As envisaged by developers, industry actors or politicians, software systems will be utilized in critical infrastructures to an unprecedented level in order to realise virtualization, optimize resource efficiency or provide new functionalities. However, this can also be sources of additional (systemic) risks due to increased complexities and tights couplings, potential failures of complex governance structures, or incoherent technical and governance developments. We propose a research perspective of technology assessment that focuses on the interactions between technological developments and governance structures.
