Addressing the Sustainable Development Goals with a System-of-Systems for Monitoring Arctic Coastal Regions

Abstract

Norway has a large coastal industry and a strong motivation for developing systems to enable sustainable management of ocean resources. Recent advances in collaborating autonomous systems, Internet-of-Things, microsatellites, data fusion, and sensor development have led to initia-tives for a more concerted and coordinated effort through the establishment of an ocean studies research project. Applying a System-of-Systems perspective on the project highlights the challenges in terms of interoperability and communication interfaces, as well as revealing the use-cases stake-holders rely on to enable informed decision-making.
