Abstract
During the past few years, “synergism” has become a frequently used expression. Terms such as “synergistic effects”, “synergetics”, and “integrated thought” become catch phrases, especially in discussions on political, social, or ecological issues. The attempt to use a more or less comprehensive approach is quite common in each of these areas, in order to find an optimum criteria-specific overall solution of a design problem by combining different partial solutions [Webster 83, Haken 83].
