Executable Architectures using Cuckoo Search Optimization Coupled with OPM and CPN-A Module: A New Meta-architecture Model for FILA SoS

Abstract

Understanding System of Systems (SoS) requires novel ways to apply systems engineering processes. Acknowledged SoS have recognized objectives, a designated manager and resources for the SoS. The goal of this research is to develop a proof of concept tool suite for Acknowledged SoS systems simulation. This suite is named flexible, intelligent and learning architectures for System of Systems (FILA-SoS). FILA-SoS assists the SoS manager in architecture generation, selection, and implementation working as an aid for decision making. Binary cuckoo search constrained optimization is used to generate metaarchitectures which are evaluated by a fuzzy assessor for quality assurance. The architecture is then converted into an executable structure using Object Process Methodology (OPM) and Colored Petri Nets (CPN). A hybrid methodology comprising of OPM and CPN approach is implemented for simulating the acquisition environment. Initial application for a Search and Rescue (SAR) SoS, consisting of 25 individual systems with ten capabilities gave promising results.
