“…A recent SM about SoS software architectures [5] has identified that SOA seems to go in the direction of becoming a standard architectural style for SoS due to a considerable number of studies exploring the use of these architectures. As an example, Simanta et al [22] state that the existing approaches and techniques developed to support service identification, publication, and discovery in SOA can support SoS due to to the existing similarities between these types of systems.…”

“…The main concer is to query this registry for the capabilities offered by constituent systems and provide information about how to interact with each constituent system, for example. It is noteworthy to mention that this approach is rooted upon service-oriented architectures (SOA), which have been identified as a possible standard architectural style for SoS [5]. In SOA, (i) service providers publish descriptions of the services that they provide in a registry, (ii) clients search for services by querying this registry, (iii) the registry provides information about the required service to clients, and (iv) clients and service providers are bound.…”

“…For this reason, the interoperability among constituent systems within an SoS has been one of the most important topics addressed in this context as it is determinant for promoting emergent behaviors [4,5]. Therefore, abstracting away the inherent heterogeneity of these systems and making them interoperable are imperative issues to be tackled in SoS architectures.…”

Systems-of-systems (SoS) represent a class of systems resulted from the interaction among independent systems that cooperate to form a larger and more complex system aiming at accomplishing global missions. An inherent characteristic of SoS is the high heterogeneity of their constituent systems, which are distributed, independent, and developed with different technologies. In addition, SoS are highly dynamic, so that their constituents are often partially known or even unknown at design time. As a consequence, these constituent systems need to be discovered, selected, and composed at runtime towards identifying the proper arrangements that contribute to the accomplishment of the global missions of the SoS. In this paper, we present the results of a systematic mapping aimed to investigate the existing approaches to discover and compose constituent systems within an SoS. Besides providing an overview of the state of the art on these topics, we shed light on important issues to be addressed by future research towards a more effective development of SoS.

“…These systems are sometimes resulting from interoperability of constituent systems that work together to provide more complex missions that could not be completed by any of these systems separately [1]. This new class of softwareintensive systems has been referred as System-of-Systems (SoS) and can be found in different application domains, including medicine, airport, robotics, avionics, healthcare, and automotive [2], [3]. Currently, the development of SoS still presents great challenges for the classical software engineering [4], as they presents a set of unique characteristics.…”

Abstract-Currently, Systems-of-Systems (SoS) have performed an important role in diverse application domains, with representative examples in airport, military, and smart-cities, including crisis/emergency management. SoS refer to complex software-intensive systems, resulted from interoperability of independent constituent systems, performing new missions that could not be performed by any constituents working separately. For these critical systems, their quality is undoubtedly essential. However, in general, there is a lack of studies that discuss how quality has been addressed in such systems. The main contribution of this paper is to present an experience of establishing a quality model (i.e., a set of quality characteristics/attributes, subcharacteristics, and metrics) for SoS, in particular, for the crisis/emergent management domain. This quality model is based on ISO/IEC 25010 and it has also proved to be an important support to evaluate a system of this domain, however their construction must be performed with caution. Experience such as presented in this work could be repeated in other domains, contributing to improve the quality of a diversity of critical, complex SoS that are currently being built.
