Holon Programming Model -- A Software-Defined Approach for System of Systems
This addresses the problem of limited programmability in SoS engineering for developers, though it appears incremental as it builds on existing software-defined approaches.
The paper tackles the challenge of programming complex Systems of Systems (SoS) by proposing the Holon Programming Model, a software-defined framework that enables flexible and adaptive development of SoS-level behaviors, as demonstrated in a disaster management scenario.
As Systems of Systems evolve into increasingly complex networks, harnessing their collective potential becomes paramount. Traditional SoS engineering approaches lack the necessary programmability to develop third party SoS level behaviors. To address this challenge, we propose a software defined approach to enable flexible and adaptive programming of SoS. We introduce the Holon Programming Model, a software-defined framework designed to meet these needs. The Holon Programming Model empowers developers to design and orchestrate complex system behaviors effectively, as illustrated in our disaster management scenario. This research outlines the Holon Programming Model theoretical underpinnings and practical applications, with the aim of driving further exploration and advancement in the field of software defined SoS
