“…In order to abstract the integrated system, an object-oriented modelling technique must be employed for the modelling of the integrated system. When [31] strategy is used, it increases the efficiency with which the combined system-of-systems design space may be searched more successfully. e economic viability of an imagined service provider in UAV-based package delivery architecture is analysed in terms of trade-offs between vehicle performance and network topology.…”

A system of system’s ability to function is derived from the integration of systems from different sources. An SOS’s systems serve two purposes: first, to accomplish their own specific aims, and second, to provide resources to the SOS as a whole. In the last few decades, machine learning and data analytics have been widely used in system design and acquisitions. Every organisation that acquires a sophisticated system employs some type of data analytics to evaluate the system’s independent objectives, which is universally accepted. Data analytics and decision-making regarding the independent system is rarely shared across SOS stakeholders, even though the systems contribute to and benefit from the larger SOS. The goal of this research is to determine how the exchange of data sets and the corresponding analytics by SOS stakeholders can improve SOS capacity. Predicting SOS capabilities by exchanging relevant data sets and prescribing information connections between systems, we propose to use machine learning techniques. This article serves as an intermediate analysis of the above research work and aims to estimate the benefit of information sharing among the SOS stakeholders. In this research, we have applied different machine learning models to the IBM HR analytics data set to determine the corresponding analytics by SOS stakeholders that can improve SOS capacity. We propose using machine learning techniques to forecast SOS capabilities through the sharing of relevant data sets, and we prescribe the information linkages across systems to make this possible. This paper provides an update on the progress being made toward the aforementioned research project, and its primary focus is on developing a method to put a dollar amount on the benefits of information sharing among the many parties involved in the SOS.

Due to its complexity, modeling of the transportation network involves a very large number of node choices for completion of a travel route. Conventional route choice models approach this problem from the mathematical point of view. In this paper, a System-ofSystems approach is used to model a Personal Air Vehicle (PAV) network, and a traveler's route choice model in a multi-leg travel scenario is proposed. Both the network and route choice model are designed using Object-Oriented (OO) programming techniques eliminating the usage of complicated matrix calculations as in many other mathematical models. The practical limitations of the shortest path problem are not usually in the solution itself, but in the application of it in the simulation environment. This paper also covers some of the most important concepts of the Traveling Salesman Problem (TSP) and an idea to tackle TSP is suggested with a modified model.

“…An object-oriented (OO) approach has been recommended for the specification and analysis of requirements for systems of systems [10,11]. Caffall and Michael propose treating the SoS as a single entity comprising abstract classes, rather than decomposing the SoS into its constituent systems in a functional fashion.…”

Abstract. A safety policy defines the set of rules that governs the safe interaction of agents operating together as part of a system of systems (SoS). Agent autonomy can give rise to unpredictable, and potentially undesirable, emergent behaviour. Deriving rules of safety policy requires an understanding of the capabilities of an agent as well as how its actions affect the environment and consequently the actions of others. Methods for multi-agent system design can aid in this understanding. Such approaches mention organisational rules. However, there is little discussion about how they are derived. This paper proposes modelling systems according to three viewpoints: an agent viewpoint, a causal viewpoint and a domain viewpoint. The agent viewpoint captures system capabilities and inter-relationships. The causal viewpoint describes the effect an agent's actions has on its environment as well as inter-agent influences. The domain viewpoint models assumed properties of the operating environment.
