January Meeting “An Advanced Computational Approach to System of Systems (SoS) Analysis & Architecting using Agent-based Behavioral Modeling” Speakers: Cihan Dagli and Lou Pape Missouri Science & Technology Date & Location: 31 January 2013, Boeing Building 305 .1E, Conf Rm 190C Lunch 11:00 a.m. - Presentation: 11:30 a.m. - 12:30 p.m. Abstract: The goal of this research is to model the evolution of the architecture of an acknowledged SoS that accounts for the ability and willingness of constituent systems to support the SoS capability development. A proof of concept agent-based model (ABM) of the system interactions is developed and integrated with a genetic algorithm (GA) to explore the potential architectural design space, using a fuzzy associative memory (FAM) to evaluate candidate architectures for simulating SoS creation and evolution. The model evaluates the capability of the evolving SoS architecture with respect to four attributes: performance, affordability, flexibility and robustness. The method is applied to an Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance (ISR) acknowledged” SoS as an example domain. The agent-based model represents a System Program Office (SPO) personnel’s interactions with the acknowledged SoS manager, and with the other Systems’ representatives. An agent models each SPO’s decision process and interactions. Biography: Dr. Dagli is Principal Investigator on the SERC RT-37 task, leading a team of eight researchers in this research. He is Professor and Founder & Director of Systems Engineering Graduate Program at Missouri University of Science & Technology. He was the leader of the ANNIE conferences for 20 years, an international forum on engineering applications of Fuzzy Logic and Systems, Neural Networks and Evolutionary Programming. He continues to lead the Complex Adaptive Systems Conference which replaced it. Lou Pape is a PhD student in SE at MST. He has been a Systems Engineer at Boeing in St. Louis for 20 years. Previously he .worked on both communication and high energy lasers. He is a retired colonel in the USAF Reserve, having worked on satellites and launch vehicles.
