Context Today, we are facing the growing development of distributed systems which their
vast scale has challenged their centralized management. Therefore, many researchers …

The sooner disruptive emergent behaviors are detected, the sooner preventive measures
can be taken to ensure the resilience of business processes execution. Therefore …

This paper presents a literature review of the methods for quantifying system ilities. This
paper is the second in a series that quantifies the ilities. The ilities are nonfunctional system …

Abstract Systems-of-Systems (SoS) combine heterogeneous, independent systems to offer
complex functionalities for highly dynamic smart applications. Besides their dynamic …

Autonomy has been touted to be a major asset of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) and its
components. By intertwining non-physical and physical processes they seamlessly integrate …

Abstract Background Systems-of-systems (SoS) are alliances of independent and
interoperable software-intensive systems. SoS often support critical domains, being required …

Smart systems, such as smart cities, smart buildings, and autonomous cars, have recently
gained increasing popularity. Each such system is essentially a System-of-Systems (SoS) …

When designing highly interactive distributed systems such as e-learning environments, a
system-of-systems (SoS) perspective enables dynamic adaptation to situations of use and …

A System-of-Systems (SoS) is evolutionary developed from independent systems to achieve
missions not possible to be accomplished by a single system alone. They are architecturally …

A systems-of-systems (SoS) is a class of systems characterized by the collaboration among
independent constituent systems, each one with its own purposes and functionalities and …
