1. Introduction

New post-transitional world and the end of classical liberal capitalism are opening space for new environment and systems, visions and opportunities. Information has increasing importance and value in a new value system. Knowledge is „conditio sine qua non“; from basic elementary knowledge, developed through evolution, to new technologies, wireless energy and knowledge transfer.

Apart from material energy resources and goods, material nature items, knowledge and information are not dissipating, but developing and growing, with increasing value. Linear communication and organization are becoming an anachronism, while network system have leading role, and since 90's and Internet appearance, networks are becoming key systems, in the area of organization, communication and operational functioning of the most human society systems.
