Abstract
Systems-of-Systems (SoS) enable new emerging services in many application domains such as healthcare systems, transportation systems and the smart grid. However, satisfying real-time and reliability requirements is a prerequisite for the deployment of SoS in safety-relevant applications with stringent timing constraints. This book chapter describes a SoS framework for patient monitoring services, which supports the openness, dynamic nature and lack of global control in a SoS. The framework enables rehabilitation and recovery from illness by introducing sensing services, data analysis and real-time alert messages via monitoring centers. We address the temporal constraints by online scheduling of communication activities. In addition, data protection as well as security and privacy challenges are solved in the healthcare monitoring process.
