System of systems engineering: an emerging multidiscipline
TLDR
An assessment of the current state of SOSE field development is provided, the nature of complex issues for which traditional approaches are falling short are suggested to include the corresponding challenges facing SOSE development, and an emerging paradigm for SOSE as a multidiscipline based on current research is established.Abstract:
In this paper, we present System of Systems Engineering (SOSE) as a developing multidiscipline, spanning across and drawing from a variety of disciplines to address complex situations; situations are characterised by ambiguity, high uncertainty and emergence. This paper is organised to: (1) provide an assessment of the current state of SOSE field development, (2) suggest the nature of complex issues for which traditional approaches are falling short to include the corresponding challenges facing SOSE development, (3) describe two perspectives of the SOSE response to complex situations and (4) establish an emerging paradigm for SOSE as a multidiscipline based on current research. This paper concludes with the implications for further development of research and practice for SOSE.read more

A modeling framework for the resilience analysis of networked systems-of-systems based on functional dependencies
Roberto Filippini,Andrés Silva +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents a methodology of resilience analysis of systems of systems, with infrastructures as a special instance, and a conceptual representation of the infrastructure, based on the functional relationships among its components, is given and then analyzed with respect to its structural and dynamic properties.
Risk assessment methodologies for Critical Infrastructure Protection. Part I: A state of the art
TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the relevant risk assessment methodologies at global level is presented, which is indispensable in order to identify threats, assess vulnerabilities and evaluate the impact on assets, infrastructures or systems taking into account the probability of the occurrence of these threats.

Systems of systems engineering: prospects and challenges for the emerging field
TL;DR: A perspective of the state of the SoSE field is developed and a set of challenges to forward movement of the field is offered to identify challenges for future evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
System requirements engineering in complex situations
TL;DR: The argument that dealing with requirements for complex situations requires a change in paradigm is developed, saying that the elicitation of requirements for simple and technically driven systems is appropriately accomplished by proven methods.
