Systems of systems are characterized by being independently governed. Systems within systems of systems cease part of their autonomy to freely belong to a systems of systems. Philosophically, this implies that at a given time a constituent system can also abandon the system of systems at its discretion. This may therefore impact the effectiveness or the capabilities of the system of systems. This paper introduces the concept of abandonment and discusses how it can change the way system effectiveness is determined in systems of systems.
