Interoperability Analysis Method for Mission-Oriented System of Systems Engineering
Abstract
In this paper, we propose and demonstrate an
architecture-centric interoperability analysis method for system of-systems (SoS). The method analyzes both the operational and
technical interoperability of a SoS. We demonstrate the method
by analyzing the interoperability of a SoS composed of unmanned
ground and air vehicles for a notional search and rescue
mission. Completion of the interoperability analysis leads to the
specification of interoperability requirements on the system. The
paper verified the ability of the interoperability analysis method
to identify and expose interoperability challenges and to define
interoperability requirements through field experiments with the
SoS. The paper contributes an interoperability analysis method,
which programs can use to identify and specify interoperability
requirements based on an analysis of the architectural products
available in the early phases of a program.
