Abstract

Patterns can support good decision-making in architectural design by encouraging the re-use of architectural concepts and allowing engineers to learn from experience gained in previous systems that have employed similar approaches. This paper presents modelling patterns for the architectural design of systems of systems (SoSs). Fundamental architectural principles for SoSs are introduced. We describe several architectural patterns suitable for SoS design, illustrating each pattern with an SoS example and identifying how it meets those fundamental SoS architectural principles. The patterns are presented as solutions to abstract architectural problems, which we hope will foster sharing of experiences and lessons across domains and disciplines.
