“…Our concept of the flexibility attribute is more attuned to giving the SoS manager flexibility during development, while picking systems to supply desired capabilities. This falls in line with some of the thinking of recent discussions of resilience and sensitivity analyses [39] [40] [41].…”

Public reporting burden for the collection of information is estimated to average 1 hour per response, including the time for reviewing instructions, searching existing data sources, gathering and maintaining the data needed, and completing and reviewing the collection of information. Send comments regarding this burden estimate or any other aspect of this collection of information, including suggestions for reducing this burden, to Washington Headquarters Services, Directorate for Information Operations and Reports, 1215 Jefferson Davis Highway, Suite 1204, Arlington VA 22202-4302. Respondents should be aware that notwithstanding any other provision of law, no person shall be subject to a penalty for failing to comply with a collection of information if it does not display a currently valid OMB control number. REPORT DATE NOV 20132. REPORT TYPE SUPPLEMENTARY NOTES ABSTRACTThe goal of this research is to model the evolution of the architecture of an acknowledged Systems of Systems (SoS) that accounts for the ability and willingness of constituent systems to support the SoS capability development. Since DoD SoS development efforts do not typically follow the program of record acquisition process described in DoDI 5000.02, the Wave Model proposed by Dahmann and Rebovich is used as the basis for this research on SoS capability evolution. The Wave Process Model provides a framework for an agent-based modeling methodology, which is used to abstract the non-utopian behavioral aspects of the constituent systems and their interactions with the SoS. In particular, the research focuses on the impact of individual system behavior on the SoS capability and architecture evolution processes.

WHS TO 029, RT 044 UNCLASSIFIED Executive SummaryA major challenge to the successful planning and evolution of an Acknowledged System of Systems (SoS) is the current lack of understanding of the impact that the presence or absence of a set of constituent systems has on the overall SoS capability. Since the candidate elements of a SoS are fully functioning, stand-alone systems in their own right; they have goals and objectives of their own to satisfy, some of which may compete with those of the overarching SoS. These system-level concerns drive decisions to participate (or not) in the So...

“…The links between RE and related disciplines have also been discussed, such as systems engineering [42], Normal Accidents Theory, High Reliability Organizations -HRO [13,43], safety culture [44], and complexity theory [45,46,47,48,49,50]. In particular, there has been sharp criticism on the extent to which RE differs from HRO theory (e.g.…”

“…A resilient system has such features as capacity, flexibility, tolerance, and cohesion [12,17]. Capacity means the ability of the system to survive in adverse conditions; flexibility is the ability of the system to adapt to a threat; tolerance the ability of the system to avoid a drastic loss of functionality; cohesion is the ability of the system to act as a unified whole in the face of a threat.…”

Modern organizational and technical systems have been developing in an environment that is marked by capriciousness, uncertainty, risk, variability, and evolution (CURVE factors). As organizational-technical systems grow bigger, their internal complexity increases, too, both structurally and dynamically. The article substantiates the appropriateness of employing the principles of systems engineering for managing such systems.The authors analyzed various theoretical concepts of and practice-based approaches to the development of systems engineering in the context of ensuring the resilience and agility of complex organizational-technical systems. Using the case of power engineering and hi-tech industries, the authors show that for organizations that operate critical infrastructure facilities it is essential to make sure that the system stays functional in adverse conditions and is able to recover quickly after a failure. It is demonstrated that for addressing the above task it is critical to use instruments that nurture interdisciplinary competences in individual professionals and in teams that manage the development of complex systems and implement major innovation projects.As part of the study, the authors also look at the possibility of using the principles of resilient systems design and the fundamental principles for agile systems engineering when managing critical infrastructure facilities.
