Definition of systems of systems?
A system of systems, or SoS, refers to a collection of individual systems that come together to form a larger, integrated system capable of fulfilling a specific function or objective. These systems can be physical, software-based, or a combination of both and can be found across numerous domains, including aerospace, defense, healthcare, and transportation. What distinguishes an SoS from a traditional system is the level of complexity and heterogeneity involved, which makes coordination, management, and optimization particularly challenging. As such, there is a growing body of research and practice aimed at understanding and improving SoS design and operation.
