Abstract :
Communicating Systems of Systems provide new methods for developing flexibility and functionality. However, these systems contain added layers of complexity due to the emergent behaviours present in the network. In order to understand the safety implications of operating these SoS this paper develops a new risk modelling technique. Building on information contained within the MODAF model of the SoS this technique provides a structure to enable the analysis of risk.
