System of Systems Engineering: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions focuses on the many aspects of System of Systems Engineering. Part I, Foundations of System of Systems Engineering, introduces the field, characterizes and classifies SoS, and discusses key concepts. Part II, Governance and Management of SoSE, covers strategic governance, policy and regulatory frameworks, and leadership and decision-making in SoSE projects. Part III, Methodologies and Tools, explores systems thinking and modeling approaches, lifecycle management, and interoperability and integration strategies. Part IV, AI and System of Systems Engineering, delves into leveraging AI for enhanced decision-making, machine learning applications, AI-driven automation and control, and ethical considerations.Finally, Part V, Case Studies and Emerging Challenges, presents real-world applications in defense and aerospace, smart cities, healthcare, environmental and energy systems, and discusses future directions and research opportunities. This book offers significant benefits to graduate students, researchers, and professionals in software engineering, systems engineering, aerospace engineering, defense, telecommunications, and other fields where SoSE is relevant.Addresses governance, management, and methodological challenges in SoSEExplores AI applications and ethical considerations in complex systemsProvides real-world case studies across multiple industriesPresents content that is suitable for advanced courses and professional development in SoSE

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 17th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2019, held in Toulouse, France, in October 2019.The 28 full and 12 short papers presented together with 7 poster and 2 invited papers in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 181 submissions. The papers have been organized in the following topical sections: Service Engineering; Run-time Service Operations and Management; Services and Data; Services in the Cloud; Services on the Internet of Things; Services in Organizations, Business and Society; and Services at the Edge.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the tracks and workshops which complemented the 18th European Conference on Software Architecture. ECSA 2024 Tracks and Workshops, ECSA 2024, held in Luxembourg City, Luxembourg, during September 3–6, 2024.The 6 full papers and 9 short papers presented here were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. They were organized in topical sections such as Tools & Demos and Doctoral Symposium tracks of the main conference. In addition, it contains the proceedings of the two workshops:7th Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures International Workshop (CASA7th Context-Aware, Autonomous and Smart Architectures International Workshop (CASA)The 3rd International Workshop on Quality in Software Architecture (QUALIFIER).

This book constitutes the revised selected papers of the scientific satellite events that were held in conjunction with the 14th International Conference on Service-Oriented Computing, ICSOC 2016, held in Banff, AB, Canada, in October 2016. The ICSOC 2016 workshop track consisted of three workshops on a wide range of topics that fall into the general area of service computing:ASOCA 2016: The rst Workshop on Adaptive Service-oriented and Cloud ApplicationsISyCC 2016: The rst Workshop on IoT Systems Provisioning & Management in Cloud ComputingBSCI 2016: The Second International Workshop on Big Data Services and Computational Intelligence

The engineering life cycle for complex systems design and development, where partners are dispersed in different locations, requires the set-up of adequate and controlled processes involving many different disciplines. The “design integration” and the final “system physical/functional integration and qualification” imply a high degree of cross-interaction among the partners. The - place technical information systems supporting the life cycle activities are specialized with respect to the needs of each actor in the process chain and are highly heterogeneous between them. To globally innovate in-place processes, specialists must be able to work as a unique team, in a virtual enterprise model. To this aim, it is necessary to make interoperable the different technical information systems and to define co-operative engineering processes, which take into account “distributed roles”, “shared activities”, and “distributed process controls”. In this frame an innovative study, aimed at addressing this process with the goal of identifying proper solutions – in terms of design, implementation, and deployment – has been carried out with the support of the European Community and the participation of major industrial companies and research centers.
