Abstract

In this paper we focus on the software architectures' description of System of Systems (SoS). In fact, SoS is a new class of complex software systems resulting from the massive development of wireless communication technologies and the integration of several independent systems working together. From another perspective, software architectures have been recognized as the cornerstone to the success of any software system. Considering the complexity of SoS, its development demands special attention to its software architectures. In this paper, we address the problem of how SoS' software architectures need to be described. For this purpose, we present an approach based on the standard 'ISO/IEC/IEEE 42010: Systems and software engineering- Architecture Description' to describe the software architectures of an SoS. We introduce this standard in a first step, then we illustrate it with study dealing with smart energy distributions entitled Smart City and we explain how we apply the standard rules on the case study to obtain the software architecture description of this SoS.
