Abstract

The system of systems (SoS) possesses essential characteristics of autonomy, evolvement and emergency, which can only be studied from the aspect of SoS behavior. Modeling and Simulation (M&S) can cope with SoS complexity and study its behavior more efficiently at lower costs. Considering the multi-subsystem and multi-domain characteristic of SoS, this paper proposes an agent-centered multi-formalism modeling framework for SoS behavior which combines different modeling formalisms to describe different aspects of SoS behavior. The framework comprises two parts: cognitive behavior which is modeled using agent based modeling, and physical behavior which is modeled using classic modeling formalisms. Combing cognitive and physical behavior modeling, this framework supports simulation modeling of SoS behavior, and thus enables early verification & validation, automatic generation of SoS behavior simulation models, and human (SoS entity)-in-the-loop simulation of SoS behavior at variable resolution levels.
