Cover Story: Systems-of-systems are often characterized as systems where the constituent parts have some independence from the whole. Recent research has shown that independence requires the constituent systems to be agents that observe the system-of-systems from within and construct internal models of it as a basis for decisions. The connection between the field of second-order cybernetics and systems-of-systems has not been explored previously. This paper summarizes key concepts from second-order cybernetics, including the subtopic autopoiesis. Then, it discusses what the implications are regarding systems-of-systems engineering through the identification of 17 concerns. This paper shows how these concerns directly relate to the theoretical concepts of second-order cybernetics and autopoiesis, thereby opening the door to further exploitation of this theoretical foundation.
