Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems Kartoniert (TB)

This book is open access under a CC BY 4.0 license. Technical Systems-of-Systems (SoS) - in the form of networked independent constituent computing systems temporarily collaborating to achieve a well-defined objective - form the backbone of most of today's infrastructure. The energy grid most transportation systems the global banking industry the water-supply system the military equipment many embedded systems and a great number more strongly depend on systems-of-systems. The correct operation and continuous availability of these underlying systems-of-systems are fundamental for the fu nctioning of our modern society. The 8 papers presented in this book document the main insights on Cyber-Physical System of Systems (CPSoSs) that were gained during the work in the FP7-610535 European Research Project AMADEOS (acronym for Architecture for Multi-criticality Agile Dependable Evolutionary Open System-of-Systems). It is the objective of this book to present in a single consistent body the foundational concepts and their relationships. These form a conceptual basis for the description and understanding of SoSs and go deeper in what we consider the characterizing and distinguishing elements of SoSs: time emergence evolution and dynamicity.
