This book provides two unique contributions to the body of knowledge of System of Systems (SoS) theory, management, and engineering. Firstly, it assesses the dynamics of a SoS through the use of five core characteristics, namely autonomy, belonging, connectivity, diversity and emergence. Secondly, it describes a mechanism of collaboration whereby the characteristics of autonomy and belonging are satisficing for the SoS constituents and the resultant emergent behavior provides value for the observer. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 650 0 System theory.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85131743 650 0 Systems engineering.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85131750 650 7 System theory.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1141423 650 7 Systems engineering.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1141455 655 0 Electronic books. 655 4 Electronic books. 776 1 |z9789814313889 776 1 |z9814313882 830 0 Systems research series ;|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ names/no2011020363|vv. 1. 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=374815|zOnline eBook.
