Challenges related to system-of-systems for greening and climate adaptation in smart cities
Sarah Brandt, Julien Siebert

TL;DR
This paper identifies key technical and non-technical challenges in designing and managing system-of-systems for climate adaptation and greening in smart cities, emphasizing communication and coordination issues.
Contribution
It provides an empirical analysis of 57 challenges faced in implementing system-of-systems for climate adaptation in smart cities, highlighting non-technical obstacles.
Findings
Non-technical issues are the main obstacles.
Communication and synchronization are critical challenges.
Technical issues like interoperability are also significant.
Abstract
This paper presents the results of interviews conducted as part of the DYNASOS project. The objective was to collect challenges related to the design, implementation and management of system-of-systems (SoS) in the context of climate adaptation and greening of smart cities. 23 individuals from cities, academia, and industry were interviewed between March and May 2022 and 57 distinct challenges were collected and analyzed. Our results show that while technical issues (such as interoperability or data acquisition) persist, non-technical issues are the main obstacles. Difficulties in information sharing, effective communication, and synchronization between different actors are the most important challenges.
