This paper argues that regardless of the structure of the system, system control and designed performance are inexorably linked. With the advances in Information and Communications technologies, systems are becoming larger and more diverse than hitherto. The architecture, processes, and form of functions within systems are evolving with the use and handling of knowledge becoming increasingly important. This latter issue requires that both human and machine must share knowledge-related tasks in order that interoperability between sub systems will be actioned. However, such interoperability will not necessarily depend on the co-location of system assets but will be strongly influenced by the culture, organisation, situations, and contexts under which the system has to operate. The System of Systems concept is introduced as being capable of supporting many diverse and geographically distributed sub systems. Control of the performance of such a system is argued to be more effective if the structure of command and control is flat rather then hierarchical.
