“…This is really interesting because in the SoS context the constituent systems must be reconfigured to collaborate and address a common goal; however, QA's related to those properties are addressed to a lesser extent. An example of systems (that can be considered as constituent systems) that claim for these QA's are legacy and SCADA systems, which 1 [18]- [39] 3) RQ3: Which kinds of validation are used by the studies reporting techniques? : Most proposals offer no empirical validation: 10/22 (≈ 45%) were illustrated with an example, whilst just 8/22 (≈ 36%) were validated with a case study (see Figure 3).…”

System-of-Systems (SoS) are composed by heterogeneous constituent systems that are autonomous, independently managed and operated, and geographically distributed. Architectural evaluation is a key activity of all systems design, construction and operation; unfortunately, the interrelationships among SoS constituent systems and quality attributes (QA) make hard to evaluate SoS. Several evaluation techniques have been proposed, but this corpus of knowledge has not yet been organized for easy access. This article describes the design, execution and results of a Systematic Literature Mapping (SLM) of architectural evaluation proposals, focusing on the QA's they address and the techniques they use. The SLM yield 1675 articles, of which 22 were selected for detailed analysis; most of them take a quantitative perspective (82\%) and the rest are hybrid quantitative/qualitative (18\%); most proposals offer no empirical validation at all (64\%); and the most addressed QA's are performance and robustness.

“…Both Koo et al (2009) and Arney Arney (2012) find the optimal architecture by making incremental changes to a starting baseline architecture. Genetic Algorithms (GA), a group of optimization tool modeled after natural evolution processes, are used in Brown and Thomas (1998) and Singh and Dagli (2009) to search the tradespace for optimal architectures in a similar manner. A variety of nonlinear programming algorithms are implemented to iteratively search the tradespace for global optima in many MDO methods (Martins and Lambe (2012)).…”

Making architectural decisions in long lifecycle systems is challenging because the time between system definition and end of operations can span multiple decades, resulting in shifts in stakeholder needs and major advances in technologies. Space based communications using relay satellite constellations is one such example, requiring substantial up-front planning to define capabilities and size capacity due to the large investment of time and resources. Additionally, there are numerous viable system architectures. In this paper, we develop a graph-based decision method to assess and explore architectural flexibility in the future evolution of long lifecycle systems. The tradespace graph defines edges between similar architectures, quantifies the switching cost between architectures, using graphs to analyze the potential system evolution pathways. In a test case on NASA communication satellites, we find that hosting government communications payloads, in particular optical payloads, on commercial satellites could reduce cost and increase flexibility of the NASA network.

Systems-of-systems (SoS) represent a class of systems resulted from the interaction among independent systems that cooperate to form a larger and more complex system aiming at accomplishing global missions. An inherent characteristic of SoS is the high heterogeneity of their constituent systems, which are distributed, independent, and developed with different technologies. In addition, SoS are highly dynamic, so that their constituents are often partially known or even unknown at design time. As a consequence, these constituent systems need to be discovered, selected, and composed at runtime towards identifying the proper arrangements that contribute to the accomplishment of the global missions of the SoS. In this paper, we present the results of a systematic mapping aimed to investigate the existing approaches to discover and compose constituent systems within an SoS. Besides providing an overview of the state of the art on these topics, we shed light on important issues to be addressed by future research towards a more effective development of SoS.
