In recent years, the systems designed to support activity in thefields of banking, health, transportation, space, aeronautics,defense, etc. have become increasingly larger and more complex.With the growing maturity of information and communicationtechnologies, systems have been interconnected within growingnetworks, yielding new capabilities and services through thecombination of system functionalities. This has led to a furtherincreasing complexity that has to be managed in order to takeadvantage of these system integrations.
The book is divided into two parts. The first partaddresses the concept and practical illustrations of a"system of systems" and is a multidisciplinaryintroduction to the notion of a "systems of systems"that is discussed extensively in the current scientific andtechnical literature. After a critical comparison of the differentdefinitions and a range of various practical illustrations, thispart provides answers to key questions such as what a system ofsystems is and how its complexity can be mastered. Thesecond part, described as "systems-of-systems engineering:methods and tools", focuses on both engineering and modeling,and standardization issues that are critical to deal with the keysteps in systems of systems engineering: namely elicitingstakeholder needs, architecture optimization, integration ofconstituent systems, qualification, and utilization.
