The nature of Systems of Systems (SoSs), large complex systems composed of independent, geographically distributed and continuously evolving constituent systems, means that faults are unavoidable. Previous work on defining contractual…
System-of-Systems (SoS) has consolidated itself as a special type of software-intensive systems. As such, subtypes of SoS have also emerged, such as Cyber-Physical SoS (CPSoS) that are formed essentially of cyber-physical constituent…
A system-of-systems (SoS) is a large information processing system formed by the integration of autonomous computer systems (called constituent systems, CS), physical machines and humans for the purpose of providing new synergistic services…
Software-intensive Systems-of-Systems (SoS) refer to an arrangement of managerially and operationally independent systems(i.e., constituent systems), which work collaboratively towards the achievement of global missions. Because some SoS…
The global availability of communication services makes it possible to interconnect independently developed systems, called constituent systems, to provide new synergistic services and more efficient economic processes. The characteristics…
Modern systems are increasingly connected and more integrated with other existing systems, giving rise to \textit{systems-of-systems} (SoS). An SoS consists of a set of independent, heterogeneous systems that interact to provide new…
The cutting edge in systems development today is in the area of "systems of systems" (SoS) large networks of inter-related systems that are developed and managed separately, but that also perform collective activities. Such large systems…
Engineering a sustainable world requires to consider various systems that interact with each other. These systems include ecological systems, economical systems, social systems and tech-nical systems. They are loosely coupled,…
A key challenge in System of Systems (SoS) engineering is the analysis and maintenance of global properties under SoS evolution, and the integration of new constituent elements. There is a need to model the constituent systems composing a…
Environmental sustainability in Systems-of-Systems (SoS) is an emerging field that seeks to integrate technological solutions to promote the efficient management of natural resources. While systematic reviews address sustainability in the…
Component-oriented and service-oriented approaches have gained a strong enthusiasm in industries and academia with a particular interest for service-oriented approaches. A component is a software entity with given functionalities, made…
Systems-of-Systems (SoS) result from the collaboration of independent Constituent Systems (CSs) to achieve particular missions. CSs are not totally known at design time, and may also leave or join SoS at runtime, which turns the SoS…
This position paper outlines some of the existing issues and challenges concerned with the complexity of the requirements for service-oriented computing and systems-of-systems applications.
Because Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) is one of the hottest topics that is currently gaining momentum, and the number of its adopters (both business and IT executives) is increasing in a tremendous manner, it is really a must to…
Complex systems of systems (SoS) are characterized by multiple interconnected subsystems. Typically, each subsystem is designed and analyzed using methodologies and formalisms that are specific to the particular subsystem model of…
The Cyber-Physical System (CPS) is considered to be the next generation of intelligent industrial automation systems that integrate computing, communication and control technologies. In CPS, the interoperability requirements between devices…
In the era of joint ventures (JV) and mergers & acquisitions (M&A), dynamic and large business processes can emerge to achieve broader business goals and are often formed from business processes of distinct organizations. Software systems…
Building complex software systems necessitates the use of component-based architectures. In theory, of the set of components needed for a design, only some small portion of them are "custom"; the rest are reused or refactored existing…
This paper introduces a framework for studying the interactions of autonomous system components and the design of the connectivity structure in Systems of Systems (SoSs). This framework, which uses complex network models, is also used to…
A fundamental ambition of grid and distributed systems is to be capable of sustaining evolution and allowing for adaptability ((F. Losavio et al., 2002), (S. Radhakrishnan, 2005)). Furthermore, as the complexity and sophistication of theses…
