The newly invented word << ADAPTRONICS >> describes essentially technical and technological fields internationally known as intelligent systems, smart structures and smart materials, smart processes, describes how easy is it to build adaptive systems and structures, with the objective of reduction of material, technological and energy for implementation and operation to an absolute minimum, describes different scenarios for such applications focused on trying to simulate "vital functions", and the ability of biological systems to recognize and automatically correct the dysfunctions of their their structure, characteristic desired in technical systems and structures, particularly in areas where safety is essential (eg aircraft, civil structures, etc.), describes "scientific pillars" of the disciplines involved and important components of future structures and systems etc.
