A New Paradigm Shift: <strong>Simulation</strong> Based <strong>Engineering</strong> Science• Numerous expert-opinion-based techniques exist for resource allocation– Difficult to extrapolate technology impacts to system-<strong>of</strong>-systems level where interactionsdominate• Decisions that shape the future <strong>of</strong> the United States Armed Forces must be enabledby advances in modeling and simulation tools, methods, and techniques [Shelton,2001]• According to the NSF <strong>Simulation</strong>-Based<strong>Engineering</strong> Science Report (Feb 2006),simulation:– “can be used to explore new theories and todesign new experiments to test these theories”– “also provides a powerful alternative to thetechniques <strong>of</strong> experimental science andobservation when phenomena are not observableor when measurements are impractical or tooexpensive”Developing Methods and Techniques for <strong>System</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>System</strong>s <strong>Engineering</strong>Dr. Dimitri Mavris, dimitri.mavris@ae.gatech.edu61
