From Large-Scale Systems To System Of Systems Engineering
 

This book collects novel developments in the so-called "systems of systems" which is meant as a collection of specialized, task-oriented systems and capabilities which form, using a proper architecture, a new, more complex system that provides new functionalities than the sum of functionalities of the constituent systems.
This architecture and philosophy has been employed to formulate and solve many real-world problems, notably in the military, space, etc. Professor Jamshidi has been one of the pioneers of this direction to large, complex systems.
