4. Background: Smart Systems definition
Smart Systems combine cognitive functions with sensing, actuation, data communication and energy management in an integrated way.
Enabling principles are: nanoelectronics, micro- electro-mechanics, magnetism, photonics, chemistry, radiation.
A knowledge base separates smart systems from systems which are purely reactive.
The provision of a safe and reliable autonomous operation under all relevant circumstances is a necessary (or intrinsic) condition for smartness.

5. Background: Smart Systems definition
Smart Systems are often integrated with the (natural, built and social) environment, networks for power and data, other smart systems and the human.
Provision (and use) of cognitive support to (and from) its surroundings is a sufficient (or extrinsic) condition for smartness of a system.
