Model for self-adaptive SoS and the control problem

In this paper, we propose methods to deal with self-adaptive information systems where one has to control in real time a complex substratum organized with numerous proactive elements continuously producing active links and generating multiple informational exchanges. Such exchanges arise when linking concurrent distributed complex systems. More generally, the growing complexity of today's grand challenges suits such situations and needs solutions that are of a system of systems (SoS) nature. The paper concentrates on the representation of the controlled state of the substratum for a complex adaptive SoS and highlights the control aspect.
