Systems of Systems (SoS) are defined - amongst other distinguishing features - as a collection of component systems that produce results not achievable by the individual systems alone. But SoS is more than just a higher level focus on factors that are primarily concerned with the mechanics of data handling. SoS deals with the process of work-in-progress and how the design drives the implementation...
A description is provided on how good systems engineering processes and methods are used so that gaps can be determined by quantitative methods for informing training programs. The Systems Engineering Capability Model (SECM) is used to determine how good systems engineering methods and processes are performed implicitly and explicitly as well as indicating the gaps. This study focuses on the systems...
Problem formulation lays at the heart of systems engineering. While an over-constrained solution space may yield no satisficing solution affordably, properly defined solution spaces may enable developing solutions with high levels of affordability. Therefore, effective requirement elicitation from stakeholder needs is key to achieve a proper definition of the problem to be solved. Categorizing requirements...
Fears that Systems Engineering Standards and processes could stifle creativity emerged as soon as the first of these procedures were published and enforced by the US Air force. At the same time, however, an essential component of creativity in Systems Engineering was identified, together with its ability to enable the development of innovative solutions. Those opposite perspectives have led practitioners...
This paper recommends practices for development and deployment of modeling, simulation, and analysis (MS&A) tools for homeland security applications. The proposed set of recommended practices applicable to any MS&A application includes: software engineering practice/ software reliability, modeling practice, model confidence/ verification, validation and accreditation, standards, interoperability,...
Market trends for applying ldquoSystems of Systemsrdquo (SoS) compels developers who want to advance their business to be involved in SoS programs. Although the difficulties and challenges entailed in developing SoS are numerous, the integration of varied technologies into coherent systems, interconnected in a network, brings with it an immense potential for creating new spin-off products with correspondingly...
System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) and Family of Systems Engineering (FoSE) continue to be two of the least well-understood SE disciplines. Knowledge of the SE standards, the V-Model, and particularly the 3-dimensional dual-V model, significantly aid this understanding, including the relationship between SE, SoSE, and FoSE. The goals of this paper are to: 1) define SoS, SoSE, and FoSE from an SE...
Process models have been described by researchers starting in the mid 1990. Current state of the art in technology enhanced learning (TEL) systems development in combination with observations based on using of standards, existing process models, and on supervising team work in a series of diverse TEL systems, have led to the insight, that an extended approach is required. With a strong background...
