META II Complexity and Adaptability

Abstract

As part of the DARPA META program, the Boeing team developed and implemented a collection of complexity and adaptability metrics to provide information to stakeholders enabling informed design decisions. The contractor identified and developed a variety of candidate complexity and adaptability metrics with a focus on metrics that could be applied to META design artifacts. The contractor performed a variety of experiments applying the candidate metrics to various challenge problems to identify the most promising metrics. The most promising metrics were implemented in prototypes and selected for calibration against historic program data to establish a correspondence between the metrics and development schedule. The prototype tool and metrics were also integrated with one of the design languages and tool suites also being developed concurrently by other META teams.
