ABSTRACT
Systems of systems (SoS) are assemblies of systems working together to achieve a common goal. Each integrated system keeps its own project management and ability to work outside the SoS. Designing a SoS implies the ability to integrate design data coming from multiple sources most of the time in a heterogeneous design environment, involving a wide range of application domains, professions, methodologies and communication means. To define such systems, it is crucial to define an architecture that takes in account the functionalities required by all the stakeholders, and to enable their simulation as a mean to provide the stakeholders with a global view of a SoS before deployment. In this paper, we define some principles that drive the development of a new functional architecture simulator in the context of SoS engineering. To tame the heterogeneity of SoS components, design tools, and methodologies, we sketch a new model-transformation approach that unifies parsing and model transformation.
