“…The challenges posed to design, develop and maintain dependable and/or secure SoSs can be summarized as viewpoints [28], [29], [30] i.e., dimensions of analysis for such SoS. In particular, we will expand and focus on the viewpoints architecture, dynamicity and evolution, emergence, governance, time, dependability and security.…”

The loosely coupled integration of heterogeneous existing systems, together with the ongoing replacement of monolithic systems design with Off-The-Shelf (OTS) approaches, promotes a new architectural paradigm that is called System of Systems (SoS). In SoSs, independent and autonomous constituent systems (CSs) cooperate to achieve higher-level goals. Some inherent challenges are that boundaries of the SoS may be partially unknown and the components may be governed by different authorities, affecting the ability to observe the system as a whole. Further, novel challenges related to dependability and security are introduced, such as the detection of emerging and possibly unexpected behaviors resulting from the interconnection of previous disconnected CSs. In this paper we explore these challenges questioning if a novel mindset to error, malware or intrusion detection is needed when dealing with SoSs. With the support of a state of the art review, we first identify the design principles and the performance targets of a monitoring and anomaly detection framework. Then we discuss these principles at the light of SoS fundamentals. Ultimately, we propose an approach to design a monitoring and anomaly detection framework for SoSs aggregating i) monitoring approaches ii) SoS properties, and iii) anomaly detection techniques.

“…Rechtin defines a monolithic system as a set of different elements so connected or related so as to perform a unique function not performable by the elements alone. Along the same lines, DeLaurentis [19] characterize a SoS as "the combination of a set of different systems [that] forms a larger system of systems that performs a function not performable by a single system alone" Maier [20] defines a SoS as "an assemblage of components which individually may be regarded as systems, and which possesses two additional properties: operational independence of components...and managerial independence of the components". SoSs have different traits than monolithic systems.…”

Abstract:The objective of this paper is to propose a System-of-Systems (SoS) approach for an integrated assessment of resilience in civil transportation infrastructure in the U.S. A SoS approach is adopted for systemic assessment. Data obtained from case studies of two recent natural disasters in the U.S. are utilized to explore the status quo, key players and interactions, and the drivers to and barriers of improving resilience in transportation infrastructure systems. The findings indicate that strategies for enhancing resilience in transportation infrastructure systems include redistributing the available funding through a special funding vehicle, using resilience-based performance measures, and integrating the efforts of different stakeholders. The SoS approach along with the findings from the case studies provides an analytical tool for understanding the dynamics of resilience in infrastructure systems. Such understanding could lead to identifying strategies for enhancing resilience in infrastructure systems. The study presented in this paper provides new insights to identify the determinants of resilience in highway transportation infrastructure based on a SoS approach.

“…Because there is no generally accepted set of attributes that characterize a SOS, it is difficult to describe where research fits in the SOS domain. For example, when discussing a SOS acquisition is the research addressing managerial aspects of the SOS, as described by Maier, or structural aspects as described by DeLaurentis [2005] in his taxonomy. While not comprehensive, it does provide a start that will be built upon as the research domain matures.…”

In order to respond to operations other than conventional major theater war, organizational designs that enable adaptation to to changing situations are needed. In order to enable such adaptation, the supporting physical system of systems must also be adaptable and agile. Measures for assessing the adaptivity and agility of systems of systems that support the command and control functions were developed and a methodology based on executable models of architectures was designed and applied to a naval example. A second thread re-examined organization design algorithms to enhance them so that they can address cultural differences in coalition operations. A third thread used Timed Influence nets to develop and evaluate Courses of Action that would result in achieving desired effects. Model Driven Experimentaion was used to develop and assess measures for evaluating the extent of to which effecst based planning resulted in achieving the desired effects.
