System-of-Systems Engineering - Liophant Simulation

Modeling and Simulation Challenges in SoS Engineering• Physical experiments are typically infeasible or limited– Computer simulations are required, and are oftencomputationally intensive and time consuming– Verification and Validation is a challenge• SoS are complex– Limits available modeling techniques– Often results in high dimensionality• SoS have a large and diverse alternative space– Unfathomable number of combinations– Need to speed up modeling and simulation– Can be challenging to visualize results• SoS are stochastic in nature– For a given set of inputs, the results are a distribution– Behavior is often modal in natureDeveloping Methods and Techniques for System of Systems EngineeringDr. Dimitri Mavris, dimitri.mavris@ae.gatech.edu22
