Introduc+on • A SoS can be successful only if its cons+tuent systems have
business strategies and technical roadmaps that are sufficiently aligned
• Our focus of study is Ecosystems that interact to form the ecosystem of the SoS
• We address a plaMorm-‐based SoS
• Systems are managerially and opera+onally independent but are designed on a shared plaMorm of common services

Health of the SoS Ecosystem
• The SoS must an+cipate updates to the cons+tuent systems and will feedback bug reports and change requests to the appropriate ecosystems
• The health of this new ecosystem – The confounding effects – Inter-‐ecosystem dependencies

Health of the SoS Ecosystem • Produc6vity – The produc+vity of the ecosystem surrounding a SoS is +ed to the produc+vity of the ecosystems surrounding the cons+tuent systems
• Niche Crea6on – The niche crea+on oTen begins in the ecosystem surrounding one of the cons+tuent systems
– A new niche recognized in an individual system’s ecosystem, probably will be judged to have less risk than at the SoS level niche
• Robustness – In the SoS ecosystem with rela+onships to several different ecosystems, there are oTen mul+ple possible ways of providing a specific feature

Health of the SoS Ecosystem
• Cohesiveness – The cons+tuent systems in an SoS must fit well together
– Over +me the individual systems evolve and may require addi+onal glue code to interoperate

Example • Connected Vehicle Reference Implementa+on Architecture (CVRIA) – A connected vehicle has wireless connec+ons to other devices
– At any instant in +me the SoS is composed of interac+ng traffic infrastructure, vehicles, and people
• Produc+vity – There are a large number of infrastructure products designed to be compa+ble with the CVRIA
• Niche crea+on – The CVRIA ecosystem is crea+ng a number of new research ini+a+ves in the area of safety of connected vehicles

Example
• Robustness – Government ownership of much of the traffic infrastructure ensures that the ecosystem will remain robust further encouraging ac+vity
• Cohesiveness – Exis+ng traffic regula+ons, constraints described in the CVRIA result
– Society for Automo+ve Engineers (SAE) standards ensure the cohesiveness of this ecosystem

Challenges • Community Alignment
– Management of different rules and behavior standards among the groups in the individual ecosystem communi+es
• Management of Mul+ple Markets – The ecosystems should support the SoS and other applica+ons and be
present in different markets inside and outside the SoS
• Architectural Decisions – Architectural decisions must be separated into those that support all
applica+ons on the system-‐of-‐systems and those that support only those applica+ons within a single ecosystem
– Management of all dependencies among several projects to sa+sfy different niche markets

Conlcusion
• We iden+fied one new characteris+c of ecosystem health – Cohesiveness
• Cohesiveness reflects the integra+ve nature of the SoS and its ecosystem
• Future work – Do addi+onal literature searches – Do interviews with engineers designing SoS for recurring use of specific criteria for evalua+ng the health of the ecosystems suppor+ng a SoS
