Abstract
This paper focuses on a method of developing a framework for effective System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) management.While developing the management process in dealing with SoSE, we are searching for ways to engineer multiple integrated complex systems, which can be concurrently, highly emergent and effectively governable. The authors propose to utilize the "holarchical view" methodology to identify and examine this essential phenomenon of paradoxes of SoSE management. The proposed method is based on the Boardman-Sauser five distinguishing characteristics of Autonomy, Belonging, Connectivty, Diversity, and Emergence. The outcome of this research would influence further studies on the topic and greatly contribute to the SoSE body of knowledge.
