A Research Agenda for Systems of Systems Architecting

This paper documents the activity of a workshop on defining a research agenda for Systems of Systems (SoS) Architecting, which was held at USC in October 2006. After two days of invited talks on critical success factors for SoS engineering, the authors of this paper convened for one day to brainstorm topics for the purpose of shaping the near‐term research agenda of the newly convened USC Center for Systems & Software Engineering. The output from the workshop is a list of ten high‐impact items with corresponding research challenges in the context of SoS Architecting.
