<dc:description>The basic definition of System-of-Systems (SoS) is that of a large-scale&#xd;
integration of many independent, self-contained systems having the&#xd;
common aim of satisfying a global need. Under this perspective, lots of&#xd;
systems of systems can be found in several fields where a common final&#xd;
goal drives systems towards a final SoS state. In nuclear fusion research&#xd;
area, several examples of SoS applications can be made. From the integration&#xd;
of all the constituents of the TOKAMAK machines which work&#xd;
together to achieve a sustained nuclear fusion reaction, to the circuits&#xd;
made of active analogue components mimicking plasma behavior, to&#xd;
the neural networks made of connected units working together in order&#xd;
to predict plasma variables behavior. In this work, investigation of&#xd;
several SoS relevant in TOKAMAK scenario is performed and interesting&#xd;
results enhancing the plant capabilities provided. This thesis itself&#xd;
has been structured with a SoS-like structures where the integration of&#xd;
self-contained chapters is performed in order to satisfy the global goal&#xd;
that is improving TOKAMAK performances.</dc:description>
