A literature review has been conducted on underwater robotics, focusing on the swarm problem with this type of robotics to help overcome this gap. Consensus control of robotic swarms is focused on, with a brief description of formation control and how it can be applied in the underwater setting. The basic concepts behind Particle Swarm Optimization, Ant Colony Optimization, Bees Algorithm and Heterogeneous Swarms has also been presented. The problems that are associated with communicating underwater are shown, with some possible solutions to this problem also being presented. Possible future work is described to conclude the paper.","PeriodicalId":399744,"journal":{"name":"2015 10th System of Systems Engineering Conference (SoSE)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127321153","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A SoS is a large-scale integrated system which is composed of many complex systems called component systems (CSs). Most of the existing SoS models are based on the organizational modeling approach, and the behavioral models of the physical CSs are not considered. Thus, a unified multilevel model of a SoS is developed which combines the organizational and behavioral modeling approaches using Bond graph. The proposed modeling approach is applied to model an Intelligent transportation system (ITS) considering traffic dynamic in a platoon of Intelligent autonomous vehicles (IAVs).","PeriodicalId":399744,"journal":{"name":"2015 10th System of Systems Engineering Conference (SoSE)","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126943623","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The first objective is to summarize the requirements for RAM (Reliability, Availability, and Maintainability) parameters of European Rail Traffic Management System (ERTMS) defined in the railway standards. The second objective is to emphasize that the RAM requirements should be considered at the ERTMS SoS level. The third objective is to highlight major issues, when dealing with ERTMS SoS, which are not treated or clearly defined in the railway standards. Indeed, the RAM parameters definitions do not take into account all types of uncertainty in failure data and human failures, and do not propose specific methods to obtain failure data from experts' opinion. In this work, a number of methods have been proposed to deal with these issues.","PeriodicalId":399744,"journal":{"name":"2015 10th System of Systems Engineering Conference (SoSE)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132588021","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
