Abstract: Based on the DoDAF V2.0, the paper proposes a three-phased development process for the creation of the executable model of SoS capability architecture. The process not only takes a hybrid framework which supported the performance evaluation of SoS into consideration, but also gives emphasis to the dynamic logical relationship among activities, referred as syntax rules, which is not well highlighted in the current existing executable model creation method. The three phases are: analysis, synthesis/transform and refinement. The goal of the analysis phase is to create the SoS capability architectural description, including CV, OV, DIV, and SV/SvcV. The synthesis/transform phase shows the guideline and principle that govern transformation between the architecture model and PN. The refinement phase illustrates the transformation between OPN and CPN, and refines the interface between event driven dynamics and time driven dynamics to carry out the hybrid simulation.

Abstract: Interoperability is the key target of integrated architecture design, as well as the basis of the capability of integrated systems. Since interoperability plays an important role in fulfilling operational missions, this study proposes a quantification measurement method for the interoperability at architecture level by matching the missions with the initial conditions of executable model—Petri Net. First, the process net of the Petri net model is used to present the interoperation relationship between systems. Then the quality attribute for interoperation is assigned by incident matrix of system interoperation to accomplish the measurement on the interoperability of a heterogeneous set of integrated systems. Finally, the National Missile Defense System is taken as an example to illustrate the application of this method.
