Résumé anglais Many of the newer large technical systems depend upon increasingly powerful networks of information and communication systems. Unlike the telegraph or the telephone, these computerized networks are not passive tools; they are active, dynamic, evolving systems that impose upon users both open and tacit rules and demands for compliance and conformai behavior. Traditional models and methods for analyzing and regulating technical operations and infrastructure are based largely on historical cases of centralized, hierarchical systems. They seem inadequate to the task of understanding the diffuse, diversified, and decentralized forms that are now emerging.
