The process of architecting for software/system engineering DOI: 10.1504/IJSSE.2012.046533 | Amine Chigani; Osman Balci | With the advent of potent network technology, software/system engineering has evolved from a traditional platform-centric focus into a network-centric paradigm where the 'system of systems' perspective has been the norm. Under t... | 1 - 23 |
A method for identification of irregular objects under noisy conditions DOI: 10.1504/IJSSE.2012.046533 | Sándor Molnár; Péter Klinkó; István Szabó | In the present paper, we propose a method of detecting amorphously shaped objects in real-time ultrasonic images when high level of noise is present. In general, noisy imaging environment can lead to faulty object segmentation. Shape recogn... | 24 - 32 |
System of systems perspective on risk: towards a unified concept DOI: 10.1504/IJSSE.2012.046533 | C. Ariel Pinto; Michael K. McShane; Ipek Bozkurt | Many systems and projects that concern systems engineers, engineering managers, and business managers today can be defined as system of systems (SoS), which are described as ambiguous, uncertain and dynamic, among others. In addition to the... | 33 - 46 |
Study on system of systems capability architecture development based on DoDAF V2.0 DOI: 10.1504/IJSSE.2012.046533 | Zhi-gang Tao; Ming-zhe Wang | Capability, which can be seen as an emergent property of a system of systems, is the ability to achieve a desired effect in a specific context. It can be depicted by one or more operational threads that compose a set of operational activiti... | 47 - 59 |
An uncertainty assessment of interdependent infrastructure systems and infrastructure sectors with natural disasters analysis DOI: 10.1504/IJSSE.2012.046533 | Wenping Xu; Liu Hong; Ligang He; Xueguang Chen | In this paper, an uncertainty assessment analysis extension is proposed for the inoperability input-output model (IIM), which is a methodology for assessing the propagated consequences of initial disruptions to a set of sectors. The IIM has... | 60 - 75 |
A framework for performance prediction during development of systems of systems DOI: 10.1504/IJSSE.2012.046533 | Richard Volkert; Jerrell T. Stracener; Junfang Yu | This paper addresses the need for predicting performance in a system of systems (SoS) during development. Historically, technical performance measures (TPMs) along with modelling and simulation have been used by senior decision makers to pr... | 76 - 95 |
