System of Systems as a Solution to Mitigate the Spread of Covid-19

ABSTRACT

System of systems is a compilation of systems that focus on a specific task or a system by combining multiple resources to create complicated task-oriented or dedicated systems that combine their resources and skills to develop a new, more complicated system with higher capability and performance than the individual systems. The paper will define the System of Systems in terms of its architecture and the importance of having a System of System;then, it will define Covid-19's spread and effect on economics. After that, it will describe System of Systems in the medical sector as a case study in terms of mitigating Covid-19 and the challenges. Finally, the solutions are provided, where different applications can be combined to operate in real-time and assist the government agencies and medical staff in operating effectively.
