3A Formal Process of SoS Modeling and Analysis
In this chapter, we present a process for modeling and analysis specifically tailored to SoS problems with all their distinction introduced in Chapters 1 and 2. We start by describing key elements for proper SoS representation: hierarchy, lexicon, and taxonomy. Having a well-defined and commonly agreed upon lexicon is useful for enabling semantic interoperability among the various modelers, analysts, and decision-makers. Hierarchy and taxonomy are useful for relating components of the SoS into usable sets which can then be analyzed both in isolated and integrated contexts. Having outlined means for representing SoS, we then present a process for SoS modeling and analysis. This process is comprised ...
