About the Webinar

Software-reliant systems of systems (SoS) now tend to be highly distributed software systems, formed from constituent software systems that are operated and managed by different organizations. These SoS are moving from a directed management structure (in which constituent systems are integrated and built for a specific purpose) to a virtual one (in which there is no central authority or centrally agreed purpose). This shift is introducing a need for new technologies to deal with the lack of central authority or centrally agreed purpose. This webinar will present general computation trends and a particular set of emerging technologies to support the trends for software-reliant SoS such as cloud computing, green computing, mobile computing, and opportunistic networks.
