Short description Part 1: "Systems of systems: concepts and practical illustrations" is a multidisciplinary work on the concept of the "systems-of-systems" that is discussed extensively in current literature. After a critical comparison of the different definitions and a range of various practical illustrations, it provides key answers as to what a system of systems is and how its complexity can be mastered. Part 2: "Systems-of-systems engineering: methods and tools" focuses on both engineering and modeling, and standardization issues which are critical in order to deal with the key steps of systems-of-systems engineering: elicitation of stakeholders' needs, architecture optimization, integration of constituent systems, qualification and utilization.
