9781118460313 English 1118460316 ..".a much-needed handbook with contributions from well-chosen practitioners. A primary accomplishment is to provide guidance for those involved in modeling and simulation in support of Systems of Systems development, more particularly guidance that draws on well-conceived academic research to define concepts and terms, that identifies primary challenges for developers, and that suggests fruitful approaches grounded in theory and successful examples." Paul Davis, The RAND Corporation Modeling and Simulation Support for System of Systems Engineering Applications provides a comprehensive overview of the underlying theory, methods, and solutions in modeling and simulation support for system of systems engineering. Highlighting plentiful multidisciplinary applications of modeling and simulation, the book uniquely addresses the criteria and challenges found within the field. Beginning with a foundation of concepts, terms, and categories, a theoretical and generalized approach to system of systems engineering is introduced, and real-world applications via case studies and examples are presented. A unified approach is maintained in an effort to understand the complexity of a single system as well as the context among other proximate systems. In addition, the book features: Cutting edge coverage of modeling and simulation within the field of system of systems, including transportation, system health management, space mission analysis, systems engineering methodology, and energy State-of-the-art advances within multiple domains to instantiate theoretic insights, applicable methods, and lessons learned from real-world applications of modeling and simulation The challenges of system of systems engineering using a systematic and holistic approach Key concepts, terms, and activities to provide a comprehensive, unified, and concise representation of the field A collection of chapters written by over 40 recognized international experts from academia, government, and industry A research agenda derived from the contribution of experts that guides scholars and researchers towards open questions Modeling and Simulation Support for System of Systems Engineering Applications is an ideal reference and resource for academics and practitioners in operations research, engineering, statistics, mathematics, modeling and simulation, and computer science. The book is also an excellent course book for graduate and PhD-level courses in modeling and simulation, engineering, and computer science., Features a comprehensive treatment on the use of modeling and simulation support for system of systems engineering as well as best practices in the industry"Modeling and Simulation Support for System of Systems Engineering Applications" provides a comprehensive overview of the underlying theory, methods, and solutions in modeling and simulation support for system of systems engineering.

In addition, the book offers researchers, academicians, and practitioners progressive findings and provides the foundation for identifying comprehensive and concise representation of concepts, terms, and activities making up the current body of knowledge. A unified approach to understanding not only the complexity within a single system, but understanding that complexity within the context of other proximate systems is presented throughout. Written by international experts in the field, the book is comprised of the following three parts: Part I: Introduction and Fundamentals; Part II: Theoretic Contributions and Methods; and Part III: Practical Applications and Lessons Learned. Multiple domains are addressed to instantiate theoretic insights, applicable methods, and lessons learned from real-world applications of modeling and simulation for system of systems. In addition, cutting edge discussions within the field are presented, including coverage of transportation, system health management, space mission analysis, systems engineering methodology, energy, etc.
