The book originating from the AMADEOS project is now available!
The book is published in open access form by Springer, meaning that it is freely available for download.

"This book on Systems of Systems documents the main insights on CPSoS that we gained during our work in the European research project AMADEOS. The objective of this research was to bring time awareness, dynamicity, and evolution into the design of SoS, to establish a sound conceptual model that provides a well-defined language for describing SoS, to investigate the intricate topic of emergencein an SoS, and to outline a generic architectural framework and an SoS design methodology, supported by some prototype tools, for the modeling, development, and evolution of time-sensitive SoS."

On September 25th Andrea held a webinar of the INCOSE webinar series, on the work developed within the AMADEOS project. The International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE) is a not-for-profit membership organization founded to develop and disseminate the interdisciplinary principles and practices that enable the realization of successful systems.

The title and abstract of the talk are as follows. The slides presented during the webinar are available here.

Architecture for Multi-­‐criticality Agile Dependable Evolutionary Open System-­‐of-­‐Systems (AMADEOS)
The AMADEOS project goal is to bring time awareness and evolution into the design of Cyber Physical System-­‐of-­‐Systems (CPSoS), to establish a sound conceptual model, a generic architectural framework and a design methodology, supported by some prototype tools, for the modeling, development and evolution of time-­‐sensitive CPSoS with possible emergent behaviors. This seminar will discuss some basic challenges taken by the Project and some advances in three directions. i) Time Management: the design and prototyping of a resilient master clock to provide a sound global time base to the CPSoS. ii) Management of the Physical interactions of the CPSoS: definitions of physical interfaces and interaction of stigmergic channels with usual cyber message flows. iii) AMADEOS conceptual model of CPSoS with associated SySML profile supporting the design of a CPSoS considering different system's view-­‐points, namely structure, dynamicity, evolution, dependability and security, time, emergence and multi-­‐criticality.

The third issue  of the newsletter of the Cluster of FP7 Projects on Systems of Systems, September 2015, has been published:

You will find there the information about the past, ongoing and upcoming activities of the SoS cluster. This includes activites carried out by members of the AMADEOS project, coordinated by the Resilient Computing Lab. In this issue includes, among the other topics, an overview of the AMADEOS Architectural Framework for evolvable SoS design.
