Motivation• 0he current scenario of software development

– the development of software-intensive and large-scale system

– software products and services with di2erenttechnologies to one or more software platforms

• 0his scenario has attracted the interest of tworesearch topics Systems-of-Systems +SoS,+Maier% 1334, and Software Ecosystems +SE),+Messerschimitt 5 S6ypers7y% 899:,

• However% SoS and SE) are two research topicsthat seem to have been still separatelyinvestigated% although they can be treated in acomplementary way +Santos et al% 891;,

onclusions• 0he Bndings reinforce and increase the scope

of the discussions presented by Santos et al(+891;a,

• 0he relationships between SoS and SE) areassociated to speciBc issues of the threedimensions +social% technical and business, ofa SE)

– regarding platforms% software products andtheir architectures +challenges,

• However% SoS evolutionary developmentshould also ta7e into account the businessand social issues% and not only theenvironment@s technical issues

onclusions• Regarding the treats to validity of this study%

the main ones can be associated to

– an eventual omission of studies and bias in thee/traction of data

– the possible e/istence of relevant papers thatdo not mention the 7eywords that were chosen

– the number of electronic used databases% sinceonly the Scopus search engine was used in thissystematic mapping study
