“…Differences between naval physical solutions and the distribution of routing density discussed so far are indicative of a primary naval distributed system objective, that is survivability. Noticeably, the ring-bus system layout that is often seen in naval applications [37] is not present. This is a result of the vessel geometry model that prevents distributed systems from routing through the watertight bulkheads.…”

“…Efforts in automated distributed systems design have been successful at introducing physical system solutions sooner in the ship design process [32,33,34]. Automated methods generate physical solution models through routing optimization [35], resource demand satisfaction [7], and system templates [36,37] which are then integrated into a larger vessel model. However, in the initial stages of concept design and requirements elucidation, automated design approaches may not be viable.…”

The design of distributed ship service systems, or distributed systems, integrates concepts of vessel layout, system functionality, and the distributed systems configuration. Understanding the design relationships between these concepts is a critical aspect of investigating and developing design requirements. Thus, in the design of complex naval vessels, the distributed systems configuration, called the physical solution, must be considered in early-stage design activities to ensure that emergent functional requirements are achievable and affordable. To address this, we propose a novel perspective for modeling and investigating physical solutions in the architectural design of distributed ship service systems. Our approach uses scalable network representations of vessel layout and functional relationships within systems to stochastically generate ensembles of distributed system solutions. Ensembles are then evaluated to determine system characteristics, bringing physical solution information into early-stage requirement elucidation. We demonstrate our approach using concept-level vessel knowledge to identify distributed system characteristics, and show the method's usefulness in understanding complex distributed systems design relationships.
