“…1) System of Systems Engineering: Ring and Madni [19] identifiy System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) as to extract value from existing assets and designs new assets to be more easily re-purposed and list key challenges and some opportunities for SoS. Thereby, they focus on sustaining SoS, because they consider managing the on-going evolution of the SoS more challenging than initializing the SoS.…”

The development of highly distributed Systems of Systems (SoS) poses a big challenge on the whole development process of such systems. Especially in Requirements Engineering, one has to cope with the resulting variety of stakeholders and their multitude of different and possibly contradictory goals. This is challenging for requirements elicitation, documentation, and management, especially with regard to communication and consistency.One promising means to this challenge is to use an artefactoriented requirements engineering approach that puts emphasis on artefacts and dependencies rather than dictating processes and methods for creating the artefacts.In this paper, we present a content model that facilitates collaboration between stakeholders from 30 companies in the research project ARAMiS and is used on a SoS; more specifically, on a so-called Cyber-Physical System that spans a variety of application domains. The content model was elaborated iteratively on the basis of models from preliminary work and in discussion with partner representatives. It is now under evaluation by the 30 project partners, so we present a preview of the evaluation.

“…The methodology for defining, abstracting, modeling, and analyzing system of systems problems together with the processes, tools and methods to design, deploy and operate solutions to SoS problems are typically referred as systems of systems engineering (SoSE) [7,18,[23][24][30][31][32][33][34].…”

A fundamental aspect in the design of a complex system is the use of systems concepts, principles and laws in terms of a holistic view of the problem under study. The increasing complexity of subsea production systems demand the development of condition monitoring, supervision, integrated diagnosis and control technologies to achieve the synergy among all different subsystems and therefore increase performance, reliability, safety and optimize the overall operation for the subsea facility. This paper explores the use of a system of systems engineering approach to develop a framework to support intelligent control, supervision and integrated diagnosis applicable for subsea production and processing systems.

“…Systems Engineering is often seen as a technical activity performed by engineers, but it actually involves a large amount on human interaction, communication. The human interaction has actually been recognised to be one of the main challenges in "Systems of Systems" Engineering (Ring & Madni, 2005).…”

Systems Engineering (SE) is a methodological approach to manage the development of complex systems. In spite of its promise of benefits the approach has not been widely put into practice; it has mainly been applied in fields requiring high safety and reliability. Recently the increasing complexity in the engineering environment and the development of supporting IT systems have raised new interest in SE. Companies are especially interested in how the SE approach could be adapted to their needs in the distributed collaborative engineering environment, potentially supported by evolving PLM systems. This paper discusses the challenges of SE application in a collaborative environment, based on the on-going Finnish national research project SE-PLM.
