A control system (10) having a hierarchical distributed architecture, the system (10) comprising: a plurality of nodes (12), each node (12) hosting one or more services (18) and a respective node agent (22); a communications bus providing communication between nodes (12); and a system agent (24) hosted on one of the plurality of nodes (12), the system agent (24) being configured to monitor a lifecycle state of the system (10); wherein each node agent (22) is configured to transmit data relating to a state of its respective node (12) and a respective state of the or each service (18) hosted on its respective node (12) to the system agent (24), thereby enabling the system agent (24) to monitor the lifecycle state of the system (10). A vehicle (46) comprising said control system (10).
