“…Task-resource allocation can be described as follows: given a task graph and a group of resources [14,15], tasks with specific processing times, resource requirements, locations, and precedence relations must be executed by a group of resources with specified function capabilities, ranges of operation, and velocities to optimize one or more objectives.…”

“…The greater the total degree of congruence, or fit, among the various components in an organization is, the more effective the organization will be [Nadler 1997]. In a military operation, an organization is said to be congruent with its mission, if its structure and processes are matched to the environmental parameters ( [Levchuk 2003], [Burton 1998], and [Mackenzie 1986]). The "match" between an organization and a mission can assume a performance-based or structure-based concept.…”

A key concept in congruent organizational design is the so-called Strategic Grouping, which involves the aggregation of task functions, positions, and assets into units. Group technology has emerged as a manufacturing philosophy for improving productivity in batch production systems, while retaining the flexibility of a job shop production. In this paper, we propose a methodology to group tasks and assets into several clusters (DMs, command cells) which uses concepts from group technology and genetic algorithms to minimize the weighted total workload, measured in terms of intra-DM and inter-DM coordination workload. An outcome of strategic grouping is a near-optimal layout of the organization, i.e., the assignment of platforms to tasks and the patterns of coordination.

“…Given a fixed OSoS, how to design an efficient military organization to meet the need of some mission is still a challenge, the same as how to describe their structures, and how to analyze their performance. Many efforts [3][4][5][6] have made a significant contribution to the research on OSoS, however, it is insufficient.…”

Operation System of Systems (OSoS) as a new form of modern warfare is proposed, aiming at designing the military organization as a whole to implement the mission. This paper puts forward the organization model of OSoS which including organization task, organization entity and organization relationship. As for the uncertainty of battlefield, this paper makes the structure reorganization analysis and proposes the physical cost and efficiency cost of structure reorganization. Based on the two costs, we design the dynamic evolution process of the OSoS, meanwhile provide the effective solution using the genetic algorithm. What's more, a dynamic case analysis is presented to validate the effectiveness of our model.
