While Systems Engineering has come a long way since its early beginning over six decades ago, it is still facing challenges in gaining the same degree of rigour and precision that is found in the theorical foundation of other engineering domains. Systems Engineering has always incorporate tools and methods from other engineering domains and adapted them to fit the purpose of engineering systems. This...
The formal modelling of System of Systems (SoS) is challenged by the autonomy of the participating constituent systems, as system owners may not be willing to share executable models that precisely describe their system's internals. This paper describes an approach for using distributed simulation within a collaborative development environment to enable the analysis of the entire SoS, without the...
The field of SoS Engineering is still emerging, but it is clear that the interaction between the independent systems as well as the collaboration between the human owners of the systems raise challenges with both technical and human factors. In this paper we present an approach for enabling collaboration between independent system development teams using an Eclipse based tool aimed at creating formal...
Architecting systems of systems is well known to be a formidable challenge. A major aspect in this is defining the integration among the systems that constitute the system of systems. In this paper, we aim to support the SoS architect by systematically developing a way to characterize system of systems integration patterns. These characteristics at the same time support the architecting process by...
When one wish to properly engineer dynamically evolving System of Systems (SoS) it is important to have tools that enable the different stakeholders to understand the consequences of diverse design decisions. Instead of merely using natural text and/or graphical diagrams we propose to make use of slight improvements to existing technology from the formal methods area to enable simulation of a model...
