The management of System of Systems (SoS) is one of the challenging topics that have emerged over the last decade. A SoS is built upon dynamic complex networks of interacting systems. The advent of Internet of Things (IoT) and the Cyber-physical systems (CPS) has promoted the proliferation of SoS. The emergence of SoS promises great advances, but at the same time, it raises more challenges, particularly in smart process and service provisioning. This implies the integration of a multitude of software, static and mobile physical components and systems, evolving in highly unpredictable dynamic environments with complex and hard functional and non-functional requirements.
Best practices related to SOC (Service Oriented Computing) and BPM (Business Process Management) can be useful to achieve dynamic, collaborative, and high flexible SoS. The classical service-oriented management of distributed information systems can be enhanced, adapted, and evolved to cater for SoS development issues. In this context, the MSoS track will focus on core challenges of SOC based SoS development and management. The goal of MSoS is to bring together researchers and practitioners both from the academia and from the industry of different communities such as business process management, Service-oriented computing, IoT, CPS, autonomic computing, cloud, Fog, and Edge computing. MSoS aims at addressing the growing needs of dynamic and adaptive SoS and to share and promote solutions, expertise, and ongoing research on defining rich models, design, execution, monitoring, predictive/detective analysis, diagnosis, and adaptation approaches of SoS.
