[Review] System-of-Systems Engineering Management

abstract We review the SoS literature and look at SoS features and SoS as networks. And network management methods can be applied to SoSE. We have created an efficient SoSE management framework using this, and changed the network management principles of fault, configuration, accounting, performance, and security (FCAPS). Introduction The system is a set of elements that satisfy the user's needs. And system engineering is aimed at dealing with the complexities and the difficulties that arise when systems of the system increase. We need to concentrate on the engineering of many complex systems to be integrated and this is called SoSE. There is no agreed definition altogether, but researchers have focused on its features instead. It also includes the principles of networks. Shenhar first described SoS as a network of systems. A network-centric system is an example of a collaborative SoS. In this paper, we will connect the features of SoS and two points of view of SoS to the net

[Review] Software Engineering Techniques for the Development of Systems of Systems

Abstract It seems that existing SE technologies can be used to develop SoS. This framework demonstrates the development of SoSs with a variety of CS interactions. And this framework seems to be a case study to develop dynamic and automated interface required for interaction and to develop data-center SoS. 1. Introduction SoS is different from a single system. There is a fairly broad consensus on the characteristics of SoS (see previous papers). This paper shows how existing software engineering technologies can contribute to SoS development. I actually prototyped this. 2. Software engineering techniques for SoS Development We present existing SE technologies that can be used for the difficulties associated with SoS development. 2.1. Service-oriented architectures (SOA): A component of the framework is made up of a web service. Because CSs are often in an unknown state until run time, the policy engine provides a run-time configuration. Dynamic proxy generation is easy to mana

[Review] What is a System of Systems and Why Should I Care?

SoS and SoS Engineering (SoSE) are becoming important while living in complex and diverse systems. Systems are ubiquitous. SoS is used in many places such as home, business, disaster response, defense, space exploration system. Key characteristics of SoS How So is Different from a System? SoS is that many systems belong to various people and organizations, and there are emergent behaviors and common purpose. What is still controversial is whether emergent behaviors should be planned and managed. Also, someone needs to create an integrated protocol that makes it easy to get in and out of the SoS. And it is said that someone should be well planned, tested and managed to avoid undesirable behaviors. What is unique about SoS is that each CS is Operationally independent and Managerially independent. Types of SoS Virtual: There is no central management authority and no obvious SoS goal. For example, Collaborative: There is no SoS engineering team, CS collaborates voluntarily for cen

[Review] Large-Scale Complex IT Systems

The complexity of the system's interactions caused a huge amount of loss in a short time, and people could not understand why. The current society depends on the complexity and complexity of complex IT systems, and we do not understand them well and do not have the SE techniques developed accordingly. Coalitions of Systems These systems are a collection of independently operated and managed systems. This can be called SoS. The so-called virtual SoS Maier mentioned is the coalition of systems here (the most free form without central management and common goals). The dynamic nature of this is a difficult point in software engineering. However, we must ensure that the system fails and that unintentional behavior does not harm individuals and society. System complexity There are many dynamic relationships, complex systems are nondeterministic, and can not predict the overall characteristics of a partial system. Complexity comes from dynamic relationships. And nonfunctional beha

[Review] Architecting Principles for Systems-of-Systems

Abstract We suggest the definition, classification, and structure of a system of systems. The system of systems is also called collaborative systems. The structure of the system of systems is mostly communications. 1. Summary Is there a difference between a complex large-scale system and systems of systems? There is operational / managerial independence as a method to classify them. Systems of systems or collaborative systems must fulfill two requirements. First, it has a valid purpose and works for it. Second, component systems are managed by their own purposes, not the whole purpose. SoS is defined on an interface basis. 2. Discussion 2.1. What is a "System of Systems"? "Assemblages of components that are themselves significantly more complex, so much so that they may be regarded as systems and assembled into a larger system" Collaborative system, federated system Examples: wide area networks (such as TCP / IP), integrated air defense: centralized co

[Review] Modeling the Characteristics of System of Systems

We have identified the characteristics of SoS and expressed it mathematically. And we have verified that the features that are modeled and analyzed to simulate it are appropriate for representing SoS. Abstract The word SoS is often used, but there is no agreed definition. And autonomy, belonging, connectivity, diversity, and emergence. After defining and modeling these, simulate with agent-based modeling simulation. 1. Introduction The term SoS refers to the ability of independent and interactive systems to create special capabilities. However, there was no consolidation of justice. Knowing the characteristics of this rather than the definition of SoS is more important to understand. The previous researchers studied about 40 SoS definitions and autonomy, belonging, connectivity, diversity, and emergence. We made a model for this feature and personality and we did a computer simulation to prove it. 2. System terms 2.1. Traditional system A system is defined as a set of rela

[Review] Systems of Systems Engineering: Basic Concepts, Model-Based Techniques, and Research Directions

This is a general description of Systems of Systems (SoS). It is a huge amount of 41 pages, but the most important thing is to understand the SoS definition and the 8 dimensions that it has. So I wrote only the definitions of SoS and 8 dimensions. SoS Definition System of Systems (SoS) is a system made up of independent constituent systems (CS). SoS is part of system engineering and deals with boundaries such as interface, integration, testing, and communication between independent and distributed CSs. The arrangement of the theoretical systems and constructs in a hierarchy of complexity. A set of connections or associated systems to produce results that could not have been achieved with individual systems 5 principal features by Maier (OMGEE) Operational independence: All systems that are part of SoS operate independently. Managerial independence: self-governance and management of cooperation. Geographic distribution: Each system is remote. Evolutionary development: can
