‘The world is changing from embedded system to CPS, and then IoT'.
In the era of System of Systems (SoSs) where every physical thing is inter-connected each other and bring new values to the society, it is dispensable for the society to form new innovation- ecosystem for cultivating the value smartly. In response, consortium such as ARTEMIS, ECSEL, and AIOTI have been organized via the form of public-private partnership under the initiative of the European Commission. It indicates the direction of different stakeholders smoothly and is crucial activity to draw a cooperative contribution amongst them towards the creation of new eco-s-system. In this paper, we confirm that the design concept of the European Commission based on the formation of such an ecosystem is being transformed into a ‘Virtual Vertical Integrated' one.
