Abstract :
Systems-of-Systems (SoS) refer to a new class of software-intensive systems, where their constituent systems work cooperatively in order to fulfill specific missions. Characterized by managerial and operational independence, geographic distribution, evolutionary development, and emergent behavior, SoS bring substantial challenges to the software engineering area. SESoS 2015, held in Florence, Italy, on May 17, 2015, as a joint workshop of the 37th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE), provided a forum to exchange ideas and experiences, analyze current research and development issues, discuss promising solutions, and to explore inspiring visions for the future of Software Engineering (SE) for SoS.
