1.4.2 Synthesizing and Specifying Architectures for System of Systems

Abstract: Based on our experience with defining and evaluating system of systems and architectures using agent-based modeling, we describe the steps that we have employed in the context of a well-known process for defining system architectures and identify which steps of the process capture the unique characteristics of a system of systems. We describe a particular method that we developed to automate the generation of the communications links needed for executable simulation models when evaluating a large architectural… Show more

“…Research in generating executable models from SysML diagrams allows systems engineers to agree on the conceptual model before a simulation is built; Sha Le, and Panchal [2011] demonstrate how to automatically generate agent-based models from SysML diagrams. Kenley et al [2014] describe how to evaluate large architectural design spaces of a system of systems by automating the generation of the communication links needed for executable simulation models.…”

“…In this article, we build upon a well‐known process for synthesizing system architectures that was originally articulated by Levis and Wagenhals, enhanced by Buede, and further improved upon for complex system evaluation by Kenley et al This article proposes a holistic architecture design and evaluation methodology that has evolved from these approaches and integrates a design space characterization capability to systematically identify significant decision variables and quantify their impact on the system performance.…”

“…To generate an ABS using the SysML representation, it is important to understand the minimum information required by the ABS. Kenley et al (2014) reviewed ABS approach in the MBSE context and they have defined a dynamics model of an agent as shown in the Figure 2. Thus, the basic components of an ABS can be identified as follows (Macal & North, 2014): 1.…”
