“…Missions can be related and contribute to the accomplishment of others, besides, as well as they can have a positive impact, they can also exert negative influences, making it impossible even to accomplish some task of the system. In SoS, there are two types of missions, which are: Individual Missions (IM), assigned to the constituent systems; and the Global Missions (GM), objectives assigned to SoS [17] [18].…”

A System of Systems (SoS) is a class of system composed of a set or arrangement of independent systems that together provide unique functionality for the end user. Due to its complexity, the Requirement Engineering (RE) process needs to undergo adaptations to fit the development of this type of system. In this context, the objective of this work is to propose a approach for the development of SoS, called REAP-SoS. The main characteristic of the REAP-SoS is the derivation of the individual missions and requirements of the constituent systems based on the general SoS assignments. In addition, the approach is also able to derive the requirements of the constituent systems of SoS. To validate the approach, a case study on a SoS urban traffic control and monitoring was performed.

“…The proposed approach does not take into account yet security features in the contracts. Some recent studies on ADL for software intensive SoS compare UML, SysML, SysML+CML and X-UNITY regarding a number of features to exhibit their ability to model SoS [20] and propose a conceptual model for missions of SoS [21]. Results show that SysML seems to be the best suited approach for SoS architecture modeling due to its ability to model CS structure and interactions in terms of interfaces and constraints.…”

“…We can conclude that none of the existing languages can be used as a standalone approach to model SoS taking into account their specific characteristics as well as security properties and specially the cascading attack problem. Despite that, SysML extended with some concepts inspired from [20] [21] like mission, global mission and individual mission seems like a strong basis for SoSSec.…”

“…For the security diagram, we p artially leverage existing security modeling language semantics such as SysML-Sec, Secure i*, MoDELO and UMLSec by adding new concepts and relations to represent vulnerabilities and cascading attacks.

Recently, there is a growing interest in Systems of Systems (SoS), their architecture, security and application domains. However, their specific characteristics such as the operational independence of SoS constituent systems (CS), the absence of central authority and their emergent behavior make the modeling of their structure, behavior and security a complex task. One of the current main security challenges in the context of SoS is the cascading attack problem. The challenge is to predict the concatenation/sequence of CS's vulnerabilities that could be triggered resulting in destructive cascading failures and take corrective actions to reduce the cost, development time and effect of later changes. In this paper, we propose a domain specific modeling language (DSML) to represent SoS security architecture. Having SoS security models will enable the discovery, analysis and resolution of cascading attacks, in the architecture phase, preventing development time and cost wastage. Following a Model Driven Engineering (MDE) approach, we generate a graphical editor for our DSML and use it to model a Smart Campus case study.

The missions of complex systems, organizations, or groups can be identified through careful requirements and domain analysis. Mission architecture modeling is a crucial step for enterprise modeling and design. However, mission modeling is lacking from the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF), which system engineers must specify and model from sketch. This paper proposes a Mission Architecture Modeling Language (MissionML). This two‐layer architecture language generalizes the general common and special knowledge from four typical missions as a core layer and mission layer. The elements of the core layer are obtained through slight extensions of the operational layer elements in UAFML, and the elements of the mission layer are derived from the elements in the core layer. Moreover, MissionML is implemented as a UAF profile, incorporating numerous domain concepts in its syntax and semantics for mission modeling. Finally, we use five public case studies to demonstrate learnability and extensibility from the viewpoint of system engineers.
