The strong emergence of autonomous robotics swarms, in particular heterogeneous multi-domains autonomous robotics swarms (aerial, terrestrial, maritime) is both an opportunity for roboticists to appropriate the concepts of systems of systems engineering, and an opportunity to challenge the commonly established results of systems of systems engineering in the field, by experimenting on highly reconfigurable autonomous swarms. This special session will address the topic of system of systems engineering in robotics with an emphasis on foundations for sustainable and adaptive autonomous systems. These foundations should enrich the currently existing system of systems taxonomy and governance standards (ISO\/IEC\/IEEE 21841:2019, 21839:2019, 21840:2019) to take into account large scale AI-driven robotics autonomous systems trends and propose both theoretical and methodological frameworks to allow optimized robotics systems design. This session is open to researchers and industry practitioners who have demonstrated the value of systems engineering and systems architecture methods, concepts and standards for the design of autonomous robotic systems or systems of systems, or conversely to those who have identified their limits, ambiguities, gaps by relying on practical or theoretical case studies from robotics.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 0cm; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000; text-align: justify;\">\n<\/p><p style=\"margin: 0cm; text-align: justify; font-size: 11pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; color: #000000;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;\">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><b style=\"font-family: Cambria, serif; font-size: 10.5pt; text-align: center;\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;\">Special Session Leader:&nbsp;Omar Hammami&nbsp;<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin: 11.35pt 17.75pt 0cm 0cm; line-height: 15pt; font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Cambria, serif; color: #000000; text-align: center; background-image: initial; background-position: initial; background-size: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial;\" align=\"center\"><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"font-size: 16pt; font-family: Corbel, sans-serif;\">Prof. Omar Hammami holds a Phd in computer science from Toulouse University and a HDR in Physics from University Paris-Saclay.
