Research and Appliance of the Zero-burden based SoS Comprehensive Evaluation Method

Current SoS (System of Systems) evaluation usually adopts the simulation techniques methods, which always need a mass of manpower, cost a long time, could hardly illustrated the structure information and domain knowledge inside SoS. So it couldn’t satisfy the requirements of SoS comprehensive evaluation very well. To solve the problem above, a new method was prompted. Starting from the SoS concept and closely surrounding the SoS forming mechanism, this paper epurates a serious of factors which most impact the holistic level of SoS, further models the factors, the relationship between factors and the forming mechanism, then proposes a new SoS efficiency evaluation method. Different with other current SoS efficiency evaluation methods, this method not only integrates the domain knowledge, but also costs far less time than simulation, is nearly zero- burden. The requirements of SoS evaluation, such as great complexity, large sample, uncertainty and high performance computing, could be satisfied. Applications proved the rationality and validity of the zero-burden based SoS evaluation method.
