The focus areas include the DoD DODAF 2.0 MetaModeling, NATO NAF Modeling, UK MOD MODAF modeling, OMG UPDM 2.0, the BPMN and BPEL, SOAML, NDIA System of Systems committee efforts and NCOIC Network Centric patterns efforts. Similar to the Systems Engineering initiatives to evolve away from document based descriptions of systems to a model base descriptions of systems, the SoS/Enterprise modeling focus is on the efforts underway to evolve from a document only description of Architectures, Capabilities, Programmatics, etc. to a more rigorous model based representation of all the perspectives involved in engineering at the SoS and Enterprise levels of abstraction. As discussed in the [[http://www.infoed.com/Open/PAPERS/systems.htm|Architecting Principles for System of Systems]] reference, not all System of Systems are alike and come in three broad categories Directed, Collaborative, Virtual with five principal characteristics: * Operational Independence of the Elements * Managerial Independence of the Elements * Evolutionary Development * Emergent Behavior * Geographic Distribution ===== Measure of Success ===== Engage the stakeholders, capture the stakeholder expectations and define the measures of success. Some Examples of measures for our focus area: ^Measure^Description^ |Team Membership|Number of active team members contributing to Wiki Pages, Discussion Groups and Webinars| |2011/2012 Webinars|Number of webinars in 2011/12 addressing SoS/Enterprise Modeling| |Community Outreach|Number of references to INCOSE MBSE SoS/Enterprise Modeling in SE Literature| |Publications|Number of publications by INCOSE MBSE SoS/Enterprise Modeling membership| ===== Topic Overview / Description ===== There are many definitions and interpretations of Systems of Systems and Enterprise level analysis, architecting and engineering. For example, one definition of System of Systems includes: " a class of problems that have unique characteristics, distinguishing them from "classic" systems, for example, unbounded context and usage, potentially emergent behaviors, large number of complex interactions, costly to fully verify and validate a priori..." These unique characteristics have lead the Systems Engineering and Architecting community to investigate new languages and frameworks to help better define these key System of Systems characteristics.\\ \\ ===System of Systems Engineering=== T.
