Service-Oriented Model Engineering and Simulation for System of Systems Engineering

To meet the challenges in development and management of system of systems engineering, this chapter introduces the concept of the model engineering, which aims to set up a systematic, normalized, and quantifiable engineering methodology. By building on the basic principles in model construction and maintenance, to guarantee the credibility of simulations, we present strategies to manage the data, processes, and organizations/people involved in the full life cycle of an M&S study. We also show how model engineering can take advantage of the service-oriented technology to provide an efficient way of building and managing the model of a system of systems.
