Federated Simulations for Systems of Systems Integration

Abstract

Systems of systems integration is a difficult engineering challenge that places a particular burden on the engineers who must develop simulation models to support that integration. Developing a large scale stand-alone model to support systems integration is a time-consuming process that is often not possible. An alternative approach is to leverage existing models in a federation. This type of work requires a specialized set of engineering skills. The United States Military Academy Department of Systems Engineering SysHub research program is better defining these skills and applying them to different problem domains. This paper highlights how capabilities for information exchange, environmental representation, entity representation, model development, and data collection support the federation development process.
