Reductionist World-View Holistic World-View a shift away from a long held belief that complex self-organized behavior requires a complex underlying dynamics and/or substructure towards the new notion that complexity is an emer-gent/holistic phenomenon that often arises from the interactions among a large assemblage of otherwise simple parts i.e. the properties of the parts must be understood as a dynamics of whole. 

Interactions between plants and microorganisms in remediation must be studied further and with greater attention, because in many contaminated sites they both can be beneficial if applied simultaneously, and synergy may enhance the individual site cleanup and reduce costs.. This holistic approach considers interactions in the environment, not only between organisms, but also between contaminants, and between biotic and abiotic factors. 

Thus, the potential Impact of an allelochemical on plant growth should be evaluated with regard to both the presence of associated allelopathic compounds and the influence of other chemical and physical conditions in the environment. Certainly allelochemical action is not an isolated event, and from the standpoint of plant functions, the controversy between competitive and allelochemical Interference loses some of its significance. Allelochemical action needs to be regarded with a holistic view where one stress may reinforce, or magnify, another. From this perspective, inhibition of plant growth is not so much a matter of which factor is most detrimental instead it is determined by the interaction of multiple stresses. 

In the study of biological interactions mediated by secondary metabolites it is very important to perform multidisciplinary investigations in a long term approach in order to understand these interactions from an holistic point of view and make use of them for beneficial purposes in the management of natural resources in agroecosystems. 

Automotive is an exquisite example for a long term vision in the area of critical applications, because the potential for networking to build adaptive systems on several levels of connectivity, which requires the full set of dependability attributes to be fulfilled (safety, security, reliability, availability, maintainability) in a holistic manner, is already there, although the gaps are at the moment bridged by human interaction only ... 

On the other hand, we have ISO 15508 (Common Criteria, focusing on component evaluation) and ISO 17799 (system guidelines on security, holistic, not only IT), for Security. They have even another language than the safety community, and another view what levels of protection mean (EALs vs. SILs). From the dependability point of view, requirements could be derived for security features and profiles depending on the SILs required for safety. Allocations could be done not only between HW, SW and components on functional level with respect to safety but with respect to security also. But interaction and discussion would be necessary (Note The aspects of multilateral security could be correlated to SILs according to... 

It has been demonstrated, that mass deployment of networked, dependable embedded systems with critical control functions require a new, holistic system view on safety critical and security critical systems. Both communities have to interact, communicate and integrate at the end. A unified approach to address the safety AND security requirements of safety related systems is proposed, based on the functional safety standard IEC 61508 and IT-Security management standards, handbooks and guidelines. 

The chapters in this volume have been collected in order to chart a course toward a more holistic, thus more realistic, view of mineral reactivity than can be garnered from equilibrium modeling. Spectroscopies are the tools by which structure, dynamics, and reactivity can be most directly examined. Examples include numerous means of mineral spectroscopy applied to numerous ends, such as determination of composition, purify, interaction with energy, characterization of chemically and spectroscopically special (active) centers, and adsorbate interactions. Coverage of both spectroscopy and minerals is intended to be illustrative, not exhaustive. 

Intramolecular cohesion evidently is a holistic quantum-mechanical property, which cannot be reduced to pairwise interactions. Molecules are formed during the interaction of atoms and/or radicals in their valence states, to be understood in terms of valence-state wave functions of appropriate symmetry.
