| - | **System of systems (SoS)** is the viewing of multiple, dispersed, independent systems in context as part of a larger, more complex system. A system is a group of interacting, interrelated, and interdependent components that form a complex and unified whole. | + | **System of Systems (SoS)** is the viewing of multiple, dispersed, independent systems in context as part of a larger, more complex [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:c:computer_system | Computer System or just System]]. A System is a group of interacting, interrelated, and interdependent components that form a complex and unified whole. |
| - | The goal of an SoS architecture is to get maximum value out of a large system by an understanding of how each of the smaller systems works, interface, and are used. Such designs require systems thinking -- a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way constituent parts interoperate, work over a time period, and function within the context of a larger, evolving system. | + | The goal of an SoS architecture is to get maximum value out of a large System by an understanding of how each of the smaller Systems works, interfaces, and usage. Such designs require "Big Systems" thinking -- a holistic approach to analysis that focuses on the way constituent parts interoperate, work over a time period, and function within the context of a larger, evolving system. |
| - | In the data center, independent constituent parts of a large system are connected through SoS-defined software interfaces called middleware. Such programs ensure that constituents do not compete for subtasks within the larger system and provide messaging services so that constituent systems can communicate. | + | In the data center, independent constituent parts of a large system are connected through SoS-defined software interfaces called [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:m:midware]].
