Abstract
The technological demand for developing multifunctional, intelligent materials and systems are growing day by day. In the very near future, for establishing a more efficient, comfortable human life and society, the combination between intelligent material/devices (IMD) and information technology (IT) will be inevitably occurred from the view point of transference of human works (i. e. sensing, processing, effecting function) into active/intelligent devices by utilizing remote telecommunication. Harmonic material/device design, technological importance of combination intelligent/IT concept and several preliminary researches to realize this approach are overviewed. New additional strategy to "Man/Material Interface" becomes necessary to develop this field.
