European project Road2SoS - Development of strategic research and engineering roadmaps in Systems of Systems Engineering and related case studies

The emerging System-of-Systems (SoS) concept describes the large scale integration of many independent self-contained systems to satisfy global needs or multi-system requests. The increasing number of interacting systems in a strongly connected society and industry as well as the growing overall complexity of systems have triggered a paradigm shift and the need to enhance the classical view of Complex System Engineering towards SoS Engineering.
The overarching aim of Road2SoS is to develop research and engineering roadmaps to identify future RTD and Innovation (RTD+I) strategies for Europe in the field of SoS Engineering in four key domains:

  • Distributed energy generation and smart grids
  • Integrated multisite and industrial production
  • Emergency and crisis management
  • Multi-modal traffic control

The specific goals pursed by the project are:

  • Facilitate a better understanding on SoS
  • Provide an insight on most relevant trends and upcoming SoS developments
  • Favour the rapprochement of collaboration links among the SoS community
  • Deliver recommendations on most relevant SoS research priorities to the European Commission

Research and engineering roadmaps will be developed in Road2SoS by combining technology-driven and market-driven approaches. The roadmaps will be disseminated to relevant organisations through case studies and workshops. To achieve the project objectives, the consortium will implement a methodology consisting of three phases:

  • Data collection and analysis of RTD results and outcomes of the market survey
  • Development of four specific research and engineering roadmaps
  • Integration of roadmaps into the socio-economic context as well as definition of best practices and preparation of recommendations for the European Commission

Road2Sos is coordinated by Steinbeis-Europa-Zentrum. SEZ is responsible for the financial and administrative project management, roadmapping, market studies and transnational technology transfer.

Project Duration: 10/2011 - 10/2013

Countries: France, Germany, Great Britain and Spain
