“…An SoS is a concept offering a high-level viewpoint encompassing the interactions between the cooperating independent systems (Jamshidi (2009)). SoS is applied in a wide range of research areas as transportation (DeLaurentis (2005)), healthcare (Wickramasinghe et al (2008)), management (Shenhar et al (2009), and ship environment (Mahulkar et al (2009)). Definition: The United States Air Force Scientific Advisory Board defines SoSE as (United States Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, 2005): "The process of planning, analyzing, organizing, and integrating the capabilities of a mix of existing and new systems into a system-of-systems capability that is greater than the sum of the capabilities of the constituent parts.…”

This paper proposes a methodology to address the problem of international multi modal hubs crisis management. The analysis starts from the case study of the Brussel airport terrorist attacks to highlight multi-modal and international aspects of this kind of crisis. Then, focusing on railway and airway modes, the contextual and organizational diversity is explained. The need of a global crisis management system is justified, but the challenges ensuing from the different transportation modes are highlighted. The proposition of a modelling approach based on System of Systems formalism is studied. The possibility of building a correct by construction design of common functioning mode is justified using the scientific state of the art of formal methods providing a scientific framework for future technological and organizational innovations assessment.

“…For example, applying an ABM approach simulates a Navy Warfighter ship to explore the impacts of inserting wireless technology [21], a supply chain for distributed manufacturing environment in order to plan a successful manufacturing operation [22], and dynamic job allocation among resources in a manufacturing shop floor in order to improve scheduling and allocation of machines [23]. Lewe, DeLaurentis and Mavris [24] apply ABM to study the national transportation system, where agents represent entities that travel between various locales.…”

In order to understand how we may engineer system of systems (SoS), we will have to rely significantly on our abilities in modeling and simulation. While there are some models of non-specific SoS, few attempts have been made to demonstrate these models with simulation. Simulations of SoS are usually specific cases. Likewise, in the description of a SoS, most of the approaches have focused on their characterization, yet this characterization has not been greatly utilized as an underlying feature in the modeling and simulation of SoS. We review different modeling techniques and use two converse techniques, i.e. agentbased and event-based modeling, to run a simulation of hypothetical systems collaborating into a SoS. The results of the empirical comparison indicate an agent-based modeling approach would achieve a characterization model better with validation achieved through an event-based approach.

“…Agent-based technology is typically included when it is desired to include the human in the simulation loop [8]. Thus, the use of agents are often used to explore human behaviour and socio-technical aspects in an SoS scenarios [92,166].…”

As people and businesses experience the advantages and capabilities enabled by increased connectivity and integration between computer systems, a higher demand arises for the functionality and services that systems must provide. This necessitates the creation of a type of highly complex systems that themselves contain systems, which have a high degree of interconnectivity and interactions between them. This type of system is known as a System of Systems, which denotes a system that itself contains a group of heterogeneous constituent systems that via the interactions between them create a synergistic collaboration through which a higher common goal can be achieved. The development of a System of Systems is challenged by a high degree of complexity in the form of diverse stakeholders, geographical distributed development, a constant system evolution, an unpredictable emergence of behaviour, and the heterogeneity between the constituent systems. These challenges are being addressed in the field of Systems of Systems Engineering. The methodologies and tools used for analysis and development are however still in their infancy. This dissertation is focused on strengthening the Systems of Systems Engineering field by using a combination of Software Engineering and Systems Engineering, specifically with a focus on formal model based engineering techniques and tool-support hereof. The dissertation has three focus areas: managing integration challenges, enhancing the capabilities of System of Systems modelling and enabling collaborative development in formal modelling. The result is: a range of classification dimensions that characterise System of Systems; a System of Systems classification for design patterns; and multiple approaches for improving the tool-support for formal modelling techniques in System of Systems Engineering. vii There are a number of people who have been important in the completion of this dissertation, as their support, guidance and assistance made it all possible. To all of these, and many others, who contributed academically or personally, I owe a great deal. First I want to thank my supervisor Professor Peter Gorm Larsen from the Department of Engineering, Aarhus University. He has had a remarkable impact on both my research and my personal development. I am highly thankful for all he has taught me, both consciously and unconsciously, through his guidance, time and ideas. His never ending support and enthusiasm is both contagious and motivational. I want to acknowledge my colleagues in the COMPASS project whom have contributed strongly to my research by providing a foundation on which the research could be performed. They have contributed to my research with valuable ideas and feedback, for which I owe them my strongest appreciation. I also owe a strong recognition and thank you to Kenneth Lausdahl and Nick Battle for they support and work with the tool development efforts. Their impressive technical insights and expertises have been invaluable in the technical aspects of this dissertation. I wan...
