  ABSTRACT = {Systems of Systems (SoS) have started to emerge as a
  consequence of the general trend toward the integration of beforehand
  isolated systems. To unleash the full potential, the contained systems
  must be able to operate as elements in open, dynamic, and deviating
  SoS architectures and to adapt to open and dynamic contexts while being
  developed, operated, evolved, and governed independently. We name the
  resulting advanced SoS to be smart as they must be self-adaptive at the
  level of the individual systems and self-organizing at the SoS level
  to cope with the emergent behavior at that level. In this paper we
  analyze the open challenges for the envisioned smart SoS. In addition,
  we discuss our ideas for tackling this vision with our SMARTSOS approach
  that employs open and adaptive collaborations and models at runtime. In
  particular, we focus on preliminary ideas for the construction and
  assurance of smart SoS.},
