A Systems Engineering Process for Development of Federated Simulations

Abstract

This paper specifies a systems engineering process for the development of federated simulation models in order to support systems-of-systems analysis. The specification borrows ideas from the systems engineering domain, the simulation interoperability domain, and the software engineering domain. It has activities on the operational level to define how the real system operates, the system level to define the overall architecture of the federation, and the technical level to fully specify requirement to model developers. Use of this process allow the developers of federated simulations to separate these concerns and dialog more effectively with all of these groups.
