Evaluating a framework for visualizing system of systems engineering research coverage

This paper presents a framework for visualizing the research coverage of system of systems engineering (SOSE). The framework is based on prior similar work providing a framework for systems engineering research (SE) coverage. The framework presented for SOSE is sufficiently broad and developed to enable meaningful classification of SOSE research contributions. This paper compares the coverage of SOSE and SE in relevant bodies of research. The comparison reveals both different emphases in the two fields and different stages of maturity of the fields.
