I notice that you seem to be specializing in this topic. May we presume that you're associated with EuroNF? If so, I'd just like to point out that if you're associated with an article's subject, it's considered good form to use secondary sources to avoid the possibility that your contribution could be interpreted as biased. Wikipedia articles need to be written with a neutral point of view. (Some phrases in that article seem a little bit promotional, for example: "This new environment forces the scientific community to develop new principles and methods to design/dimension/control/manage future multi-technology architectures. The new paradigms raise new challenging scientific and technological problems embedded in complex policy, governance, and worldwide standards issues. Dealing with the diversity of these scientific and socio-economic challenges requires the integration of a wide range of research capacities; a role that Euro-NF is committed to fulfil.")
With regard to notability, do you have any other, reliable sources you could possibly reference? Coverage in journals, the media, books, etc.?
Also, Wikipedia has a number of style conventions, which set it apart from print encyclopedias or academic papers. One of them is that the lead section be short and descriptive, and that it goes under the 1st-level heading (automatically generates as the title). Subsequent sections are under 2nd-level headings (==Section title==). Subsections follow this hierarchy, with 3rd- and lower-level headings. I bring this up because your original text, as well as a change you made after my edits, don't follow this correctly. (Don't be too concerned about that—it's only a minor point, and easily rectified.) TheFeds 17:51, 3 November 2009 (UTC)
