Systems of Systems Engineering

Systems of Systems Engineering (SoSE) is an approach to designing and managing complex, large-scale systems comprised of independent but interconnected subsystems. It focuses on coordinating these diverse components—such as transportation networks, healthcare systems, or military operations—to work together effectively, often over time and different organizational boundaries. SoSE addresses challenges like interoperability, scalability, and evolving requirements, ensuring that the overall system functions seamlessly despite its complexity. It’s about creating a unified, adaptable system that delivers coordinated performance and meets overarching goals.
