A Deviation Based SoS Safety View for Modelling Architectural Frameworks
نویسندگان
چکیده
The term Systems of Systems (SoS) has recently been introduced in the systems engineering domain to describe a new class of systems, exhibiting a number of attributes such as complexity, autonomy, and geographic dispersion. The (UK) Ministry of Defence Architectural Framework (MODAF) is a prominent framework used in the defence domain. MODAF is organised in views, each of which focuses on a single aspect of the system operation. Although MODAF addresses a variety of aspects, it does not offer a view defined to provide safety related information. The paper presents the concept of failure maps (F-maps), and how they can be integrated with other MODAF views, and used during afety analysis of a SoS. Failure maps (F-maps) are failure oriented, deviation-based maps, identifying how dependability failures of SoS elements are associated, affecting the overall SoS operation.

متن کاملLinking Architecture Models and Synthetic Environments - An Integrated Project Support Environment
Large System Integration (LSI) and Systems of Systems (SoS) present difficult systems engineering challenges due to complexity and emergent behaviour. There is a high risk of project failure unless systems complexity is addressed at an early stage, before systems implementation. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) addresses systems complexity through approaches such as architectural modellin...
متن کاملArchitectural modelling and verification of open service-oriented systems of systems
Systems of Systems (SoS) have received a lot of attention recently. In this thesis we will focus on SoS that are built atop the techniques of Service-Oriented Architectures and thus combine the benefits and challenges of both paradigms. For this thesis we will understand SoS as ensembles of single autonomous systems that are integrated to a larger system, the SoS. The interesting fact about the...
متن کاملCOMPUTING SCIENCE Evaluation of Architectural Frameworks Supporting Contract-based Specification
The management and assurance of “systems of systems” (SoSs) are hampered by the difficulty of gaining confidence that a particular architecture of constituent systems will meet a global SoS-level requirement. Research suggests that recording explicit technical contracts at the boundaries between the SoS-constituent systems may help with verification of SoS-level properties, including non-functi...
