This paper addresses the modeling and design of Systems of Systems (SoS). It presents and illustrates a new generic model to describe formally such systems. This model is used to propose a SoS architecting approach based on adaptive multi-agent systems. In this approach, each component system composing the SoS uses a local cooperative decision process in order to interact with other systems and to collectively give rise to a relevant overall function at the SoS level. The proposed model as well as the proposed approach are instantiated with a simulated unmanned aerial vehicle scenario and compared with another approach dealing with collaboration between systems in a SoS.
