4. System-of-Systems Integration
Stable section ID: S05-CON-016-SECTION-6 · 26 content blocks
System05 shall be implemented as a System of Systems in which multiple independently engineered systems interact through controlled boundaries.
These systems may include:
structural systems;
enclosure and environmental-control systems;
mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and utility systems;
manufacturing and supply systems;
digital identity and Registry systems;
BDL, Compiler, BIOS, and Digital Twin systems;
sensing and monitoring systems;
robotic and automated systems;
verification and certification systems;
governance and lifecycle-management systems.
Each participating system may retain internal independence, specialized engineering methods, separate ownership, and distinct lifecycle responsibilities. Integration shall occur through declared Interfaces, identities, states, requirements, and authority relationships.
System-of-Systems integration shall identify:
participating systems and responsible parties;
physical and digital boundaries;
transferred loads, energy, materials, information, and authority;
dependencies and failure-propagation paths;
Compatibility and Version requirements;
system-level verification responsibilities;
operational and lifecycle coordination;
conditions requiring reintegration or revalidation.
Success within one subsystem shall not automatically establish successful integration of the complete Building or platform.
System-level behavior may introduce hazards, performance limitations, or incompatibilities that are not visible when Components are evaluated separately. System05 shall therefore require integration-level assessment in addition to Product-level Conformance.
No subsystem shall silently assume control of another subsystem’s authoritative information, safety function, or operational permissions.
The integrated system shall remain decomposable, inspectable, and governable so that failure, replacement, upgrade, or withdrawal of one subsystem does not unnecessarily invalidate the complete platform.
