Scenarios are frequently used within techniques for planning and designing systems. They are an especially helpful means of visualizing and understanding the incorporation of new systems within systems of systems. If used as the basis for decisions about candidate designs, then it is important that such decisions can be rationalized and quantitative assessment is particularly important. In this paper,...
The paper discusses a system of systems multi-paradigm approach to the modeling of Demand Responsive Transport systems. It contains a brief overview of issues which appear during modeling of such systems, considers various multi-agent architectures and describes some algorithms which can be used for modeling. Also the paper provides some details about previous investigations on this topic, in particular:...
The verification and validation of autonomous systems, and their relationship with systems engineering, is a challenging problem. They are tasked with achieving goals with reduced (or no) human interaction, and will be verified or validated with respect to the task they should achieve, rather than traditional systems which are assessed as whether they have the necessary capabilities to support an...
This study investigates the use of Through Life Capability Management perspective for refinement of the Conceptual Framework for Assessing and Measuring System Maturity, System Readiness and Capability Readiness using Architecture Frameworks. Metrics and measurement frameworks have no meaning if they are not used to make decisions. The importance of decision making at the architectural level is therefore...
A today's trend within the aircraft industry is towards a so-called More Electric Aircraft (MEA) architecture, using electric power as single type of energy to supply most of the systems on board of an air vehicle. Besides the various advantages, e.g. improved efficiency, reduced operating costs, etc., this will increase the complexity of the electrical system and therefore have an impact on the related...
The Through Life Capability Management (TLCM) construct, currently being embraced by defense departments across the globe, is a commercial and social endeavor that requires a multitude of socio-technical systems to work together effectively in a system of systems. TLCM demands changes in the organization and culture of the defense supply chain in ways that fly in the face of traditional commercial...
