The overall objective of DSoS is to develop significantly improved means for composing a dependable "system of systems" (SoS) from a set of largely autonomous component computer systems. Reusing existing legacy systems in a dependable fashion without the need for extensive re-engineering is a key problem currently faced by industry. Thus, DSoS will contribute directly towards the Community's economic and social objectives by improving industrial competitiveness and hence employment prospects.
