Content, progress and pedagogy of the module

The students will be introduced to methodologies for design of a system of systems in terms of designing the properties of the individual systems as well as their interconnecting behavior, establishing the system of systems. A systematic approach to the design of network architectures and local behavior rules, which together constitute systems of systems that are optimal with respect to objectives formulated at a macroscopic level, will be presented.

Learning objectives

Knowledge

• The formalized concept of systems of systems
• A systematic approach to the design of network architectures and local behavior rules, which together constitute systems of systems that are optimal with respect to objectives formulated at a macroscopic level.

Skills

• To combine the areas of systems and control theory, network theory, distributed systems and embedded systems into design principles for systems of systems

Competences

• The ability to design of the properties of the individual systems, as well as their interconnecting behavior, establishing the system of systems
• Identify systems as being complex and/or to fit the Systems of systems paradigm
• Identify appropriate tools for the analysis of complex systems/ Systems of systems
• Predict how overall design decisions impact behavior and performance of complex systems /system of systems
