Looking back and forward: A retrospective and future directions on Software Engineering for systems-of-systems
arxiv(2024)
摘要
Modern systems are increasingly connected and more integrated with other
existing systems, giving rise to systems-of-systems (SoS). An SoS consists of a
set of independent, heterogeneous systems that interact to provide new
functionalities and accomplish global missions through emergent behavior
manifested at runtime. The distinctive characteristics of SoS, when contrasted
to traditional systems, pose significant research challenges within Software
Engineering. These challenges motivate the need for a paradigm shift and the
exploration of novel approaches for designing, developing, deploying, and
evolving these systems. The International Workshop on Software Engineering for
Systems-of-Systems (SESoS) series started in 2013 to fill a gap in scientific
forums addressing SoS from the Software Engineering perspective, becoming the
first venue for this purpose. This article presents a study aimed at outlining
the evolution and future trajectory of Software Engineering for SoS based on
the examination of 57 papers spanning the 11 editions of the SESoS workshop
(2013-2023). The study combined scoping review and scientometric analysis
methods to categorize and analyze the research contributions concerning
temporal and geographic distribution, topics of interest, research
methodologies employed, application domains, and research impact. Based on such
a comprehensive overview, this article discusses current and future directions
in Software Engineering for SoS.
