Key Characteristics of System of Systems

SoSE vs. Systems Engineering

SoSE differs from Traditional Systems Engineering SoSE depends on the science of

Information Reuse and Integration – IRI Reuse supports

scalability, higher quality for less cost, and iterative transformation for dynamic systems

IRI makes

Intelligent & Adaptive Systems

possible for

Less Cost

Ammm!@..Hope my sub-systemswill stay put when I fly !!

IRI makes building Large Scale, Complex Software Systems

Easy and Cost-Effective
