From Large-Scale Systems to System of Systems Engineering
Contenu
This book collects novel developments in the so-called "systems of systems" which is meant as a collection of specialized, task-oriented systems and capabilities which form, using a proper architecture, a new, more complex system that provides new functionalities than the sum of functionalities of the constituent systems.
This architecture and philosophy has been employed to formulate and solve many real-world problems, notably in the military, space, etc. Professor Jamshidi has been one of the pioneers of this direction to large, complex systems.
The contributors will be, first, the best known people active in the systems of systems, in particular from top American, Western European, Canadian, Japanese, and Chinese universities and research centers, and also practitioners working in various fields.
