SoS Explorer: A Tool for System-of-systems Architecting
Abstract
System-of-systems (SoS) architecting is an important and difficult problem. Modeling and optimization are practically essential to develop a quality solution. However, modeling and optimization are highly specialized fields in their own rights and can easily become an obstacle to the architecting effort. SoS Explorer is a tool designed to mitigate this difficulty by providing a structured, yet flexible approach. Moreover, SoS explorer provides interactive visualization as well as a number of optimizers. Interactive visualization allows the architect to perform "what-if" analysis while the optimizers provide solutions that can act as initial architectures and demonstrate the optimal trade-space. The utility of this approach is demonstrated with a notional 22-system toy problem.
