6. THE SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE 
OF MARIANO CUNIETTI 
Many of these issues have been the object of fruitful 
discussions in the past Measurement Days. Just to quote 
a few of them: 
the logical issues in the definition of measurement 
constructive mathematics and measurement theory 
fuzzy sets and measures in measurement 
neural networks, interconnected systems, and 
measurement 
problems of language in their relevance to measurement 
the relations among measurement, science, and 
technique 
relations between information and uncertainty in 
measurement 
the concept of intelligence and the intelligent 
instrumentation 
the measurement in the framework of the information 
sciences 
the system-man and the psychological processes of 
evaluation and measurement) 
I believe this is the best confirmation of the validity of the 
ideas and intuitions Mariano Cunietti has left as his 
scientific heritage.
