Evolvability-Related Options in Military Systems of Systems

Nicola Ricci, Donna H. Rhodes, Adam M. Ross

Abstract

This paper presents results of case investigations of evolvable systems of systems (SoS) in the military domain. The selected SoS cases illustrate examples of specific options implemented by architects in designing SoS that resulted in evolvable SoS. The research aims to further validate the usefulness of design principles for architecting systems that possess desirable lifecycle properties such as evolvability, and contribute real-world examples that architects may use to inspire specific design options for their system of interest.
