The Newcastle University research output collection, currently available on ePrints, will shortly be moving to a new open repository platform, Figshare. To prepare for the data migration we have paused adding new content to ePrints, and will resume once the new repository is launched. During this time you will continue to have access to ePrints (but no new content will appear). We will share updates here when available.

Abstract

The engineering of Systems of Systems presents daunting challenges. In this paper it is argued that rigorous semantic foundations for model-based techniques are potentially beneficial in addressing these. Three priorities for current research are identified: contractual interface definition, the verification of emergent behaviour, and the need to deal with semantic heterogeneity of constituent systems and their models. We describe the foundations of an approach in which architectural models in SysML may be analysed in a formal modelling language that has an extensible semantics given using the Unifying Theories of Programming (UTP).
