Altogether, these data-based operations require an infor -
mation-centric approach to both system-of-systems design
and also to operations that support the individual systems
This approach is a key factor for the emergence of higher
level capabilities from lower-level interactions. Consequently,

the needed higher-level information models and dynamic processes are also addressed as research objectives. IndustrIal challenge The ever increasing capabilities for system inter- research connection and sharing of information, pro-
cesses and resources, provides un paralleled opportunities to configure systems into more capable aggregate systems, called systems-of-systems, that open up more and more appli-cation areas. Future systems-of-systems will collaborate across former boundaries, be robust to configuration changes, and cope with un-expected changes in their en viron ment.
The Poseidon project is a collaborative research project by the Embedded Systems Institute that rises to this challenge. Working with the industrial partner Thales, it aims to discover new ways to build dynamic in formation-centric systems-of-systems, deriving its research statement from the maritime safety and security domain. exPected results The Poseidon project partners will address the key aspects
