Our Goal
A trend has emerged in which complex systems are being integrated on a large scale with other self-contained systems to satisfy global objectives. Interoperability of resulting systems is enabled through information exchange and increased levels of automation. In light of this emerging discipline trend, this technical committee will focus on both the theory and applications of System of Systems and advocate their development. This technical committee will promote the SoS area for both theory fundamentals and industrial applications. The goal of this technical committee is to develop an environment for discussion and development of Systems of Systems epistemology, lexicon, taxonomy, methods, theory and applications.

Join Us
The SoS TC is newly invigorated with additional leadership and important initiatives that need engaged members to realize. Join us in this endeavor as we seek both theoretic developments and successful industrial applications in areas such as the aerospace, defense, transportation, healthcare, and automobile industries. Researchers and practitioners in enterprise management, modeling and simulation, and software and hardware architecture development that relate to System of Systems are especially encouraged to join. You can exchange ideas, your management skills, and your research and development results with peers in similar areas.
