Toward Executable Model of System of Systems Capability Architecture for Verification

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.
