[/UseMoney]This paper describes a vision in which future sys-
tems consisting of novel hardware and software com-
ponents are designed and implemented by a single type
of professional engineer. That professional has more
in common with today's programmer than a hardware
designer, although both of these existing bodies of pro-
fessionals have a strong contribution to make to under-
standing, dening and bringing about this transforma-
tion in product creation.
