Research on State of Art in System Architecture
Abstract
System architecture has emerged as one of the most important areas of research for the Air Force. Many past system failures or problems can be attributed to improper system architecture or no architecture at all. It is extremely critical to identify important research topics in this area so that researchers and funding agencies can focus their attention on these topics to make research investments most effective, and to produce the research results that will benefit the Air Force most. This report summarizes the results of a system architecture workshop that was held in New Orleans in January 2004. It also identifies several important research issues that surfaced after extensive discussions with experts and specialists. The authors believe that investments in these research topics will greatly enhance the Air Force's capabilities in acquisition, design, and implementation of future generations of systems. These topics that were identified at the workshop were as follows: a new mathematical framework and operators of system architecture, practical applications of system architecture, and whether it is feasible to adopt the "wind tunnel" concept to system architecture.
