January 24. 2007 INCOSE Midwest Gateway Chapter Presentation Methodologies for Understanding Behavior of System of Systems Understanding Behavior of System of Systems Dumb parts, properly connected into a swarm, yield smart results “ Bugs” Can they be the solution? KISS … Keep It Simple Stupid Most biological systems do not forecast or schedule They respond to their environment — quickly, robustly, and adaptively As engineers, let us don’t try and control the system.. Design the system so that it controls and adapts itself to the environment Outline Introduction System of Systems (SoS) characteristics Network centric operations Challenges and research need for SoS analysis The purpose of the presentation Modeling Tools for Understanding Behavior of SoS Methodology customization for SoS analysis Conclusions Introduction We are increasingly a networked society: Trans-national mega military systems Asymmetrical threats vs. rapid reaction forces Trans-national enterprises Globally distributed services and production We are increasingly dependent on these networks. Evolution of FORCEnet Boeing 787 Example Super-Efficient , Eco-Friendly, and People Friendly Boeing 787 Example Boeing 787 Example Boeing 787 Example Boeing 787 Example Boeing 787 Example Complex Systems Architecting Seamless integration and dynamic adaptation to changing environments are common characteristics. These characteristics are true for both defense and commercial systems Resulting systems are complex; their behavior can be understood through Computational Intelligence, Artificial Life approaches and Complexity Theory Complex Systems Architecting Attributes for Complex Systems Interdependent Independent Distributed Cooperative Competitive Adaptive Complex Systems Architecting These attributes are being used to create new system definitions Systems of Systems (Interdependent) Family of Systems (Independent) Galaxies of Systems (Distributed) Intelligent Enterprise Systems (Coop
