Approaches for integration in system of systems

Towards the Adoption of Cyber-Physical Systems of Systems Paradigm in Smart Manufacturing Environments

“…SoS topologies can be classified into four main groups in function of the relationship among the constituents, the levels of responsibility and the authority level [22]: (1) virtual without central authority to manage activities; (2) collaborative, the constituent systems work together with different grades of voluntarily to fulfill agreed upon central purposes without engineering team to guide or manage SoS related activities; (3) directed, the constituent systems maintain their ability to operate independently, but evolution is predominantly controlled by SoS management organization and; (4) acknowledged, the objectives are organized, a manager is designated, and the resources are allocated at the SoS [23].…”

Ontology Learning for Systems Engineering Body of Knowledge

“…SE played an essential role in extending the effort performed in concept exploration (Prasad et al, 2019). It reduced the risk of hasty commitments without adequate study and is praised for integrating numerous disciplines into coordinated team efforts, from the concept design to the disposal (Vargas et al, 2016). SE is a compelling methodology yet it is not so easy to fully master, as the SE body of knowledge covers a wide range of fundamentals, principles, models of foundational systems sciences, associated management, and engineering processes.…”

Architectural decision-making on interoperability in software-intensive systems

“…The literature also reports that some listed strategies are specific for one interoperability level (VALLE et al, 2019;VARGAS et al, 2016;FERNANDES et al, 2018). However, the evidence obtained in this survey reports that practitioners have used one same strategy for different interoperability levels, in contrast to what is shown in the literature.…”

“…As a result, 11 studies were selected because of they present some type of classification of interoperability types, namely DoD (1998), Morris et al (2004), Chen et al (2008), Kubicek et al (2011), Benson andGrieve (2016), Li. et al (2013), Neiva et al (2016), Wegner (1996), Vargas et al (2016), Blair et al (2011).…”

“…Such strategies were identified after analyzing related works (VALLE et al, 2019;FER-NANDES et al, 2018;VARGAS et al, 2016). For each architectural strategy, practitioners chose the type of interoperability (i.e., technical, syntactic, semantic, and organizational) in which the strategy was used.…”
