Preface

Evolution in nanoscience and nanotechnology has created new opportunities to influence future society through creation and accumulation of wisdom, technological innovations, and applications to society. It is predicted that we will face further deterioration in global warming, exhaustion of natural resources, shortage of food and potable water, and congested cities without that evolution. In order to solve or mitigate these serious global issues in the future, advanced functions created by nanoscience or nanotechnology should be combined with life, information, and materials science and engineering, which can evolve into integrated intelligent nanosystems. The “Creation of Nanosystems with Innovative Function Through Process Integration” program was launched in 2008 as one of the CREST (Core Research for Evolutional Science and Technology) programs in Japan to pursue the construction of nanosystems, which could be the first step toward the integrated intelligent nanosystems through the integration of top-down and bottom-up processes. One of these has been developed for nanofabrication of large-scale semiconductor integrated circuits and the other is exemplified by self-organization using autonomous chemical reactions. One of the coeditors was assign
