• 30 month Support Action (2013-2016)• Provides an exchange platform for Systems of Systems (SoS)-related projects and communities• Focus on systems where large complex physical systems

interact with computing and communication systems – Cyber-physical SoS

Goal: Define a European research and innovation agenda on Cyber-physical Systems of Systems

5

• CPSoS engineering involves lots of different models– Different formalisms, different domains, different resolutions

→ Needed: Collaborative model platforms

– Faster model development, better model re-use, automated modelling

– Meta-modelling, model management, model consistency

– Model exchange, legacy model integration, trust in models between competing companies

– Model maintenance and adaptation

– System-wide multi-resolution models of CPSoS

– Full-life-cycle modeling

– Economic / socio-technical modelling

CPSoS Platform ChallengesModeling, Simulation, Model Management

6

• Smart CPSoS must be highly dynamic, interconnected, flexible– Highly distributed, can span across countries– Quick adaptation to market needs, customer demands

• CPSoS are heterogeneous, with a deluge of systems from many different providers

→ Needed: Platforms for the seamless integration and reconfiguration of CPSoS components

– Integrating, handling, and processing large amounts of data from a myriad of sources

→ Basis for “smart” applications (situational awareness, real-time monitoring, data-based system operation, …)

– Reference architectures, open platforms and easy-to-test interfaces for plug-and-play integration, live removal, quick reconfiguration

CPSoS Platform ChallengesSemantic Systems Integration

7

• Continuous evolution - separation between the design/engineering phases and operational stage is disappearing

• Heterogeneous infrastructures, lots of different actors• High flexibility, frequent dynamic reconfigurations

→ Needed: Full-life-cycle collaborative engineering platforms– Specification, adaptation, cross-layer design, evolution, and

maintenance of requirements, models, and components
