This paper proposes and demonstrates an architectural pattern for the contractual
specification of interfaces between constituent systems within a System of Systems (SoS) …

This paper presents an initial report on modelling patterns and architectures for system of
systems (SoSs) and their constituent systems (CSs). Fundamental architectural principles for …

This paper describes a pilot study in the use of model‐based techniques in system of
systems (SoS) engineering. The focus is on the derivation of specifications for new …

Abstract Systems of systems (SoSs) are characterised by a challenging combination of
continuous evolution, emergent behaviour and distributed, autonomous and independent …

In its broadest sense, collaboration can be defined as a united effort to accomplish activities
that ultimately lead to the achievement of shared objectives. This requires the sharing of …

A system of systems (SoS) is a complex system. In SoS, autonomous systems join up
together and form a system ie SoS, which has a distinguished purpose or goal to achieve …

Autonomous systems (ASs) have design-level goals and, accordingly, strategies for
achieving those goals. It requires systematic integration and guidance techniques to use …

The nature of Systems of Systems (SoSs), large complex systems composed of
independent, geographically distributed and continuously evolving constituent systems …

This paper proposes and demonstrates an archi-tectural pattern for the contractual
specification of interfaces between constituent systems within a System of Systems (SoS) …
