Situation Awareness with Systems of Systems

This book examines aspects, challenges, and solutions for developing systems-of-systems for situation awareness. It discusses techniques applicable in domains such as air traffic control, chemical plant surveillance, emergency response and maritime safety.

This book discusses various aspects, challenges, and solutions for developing systems-of-systems for situation awareness, using applications in the domain of maritime safety and security. Topics include advanced, multi-objective visualization methods for situation awareness, stochastic outlier selection, rule-based anomaly detection, an ontology-based event model for semantic reasoning, new methods for semi-automatic generation of adapters bridging communication gaps, security policies for systems-of-systems, trust assessment, and methods to deal with the dynamics of systems-of-systems in run-time monitoring, testing, and diagnosis. Architectural considerations for designing information-centric systems-of-systems such as situation awareness systems, and an integrated demonstrator implementing many of the investigated aspects, complete the book.

Discusses data processing techniques for situation awareness, applicable in domains such as air traffic control, chemical plant surveillance, emergency response and maritime safety and security Addresses the dynamics of systems-of-systems in situation awareness, such as security, integration, testing, diagnosis, and the connection to additional systems Describes a demonstrator that integrates many of the developed techniques in the domain of maritime safety and security Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
