Description
Taylor and Francis Ltd System-of-Systems Modeling and Analysis 1st Edition 2022 Hardbound by Delaurentis, Daniel A.
System of Systems Modeling and Analysis provides the reader with motivation, theory, methodology, and examples of modeling and analysis for system of system (SoS) problems. In addition to theory, this book contains history and conceptual definitions, as well as the theoretical fundamentals of SoS modeling and analysis. It then describes methods for SoS modeling and analysis, including use of existing methodology and original work, specifically oriented to SoS._x000D__x000D_Providing a bridge between theory and practice for modeling and analysis of SoS, this book includes generalized concepts and Methods, Tools, and Processes (MTP) applicable to SoS across any application domain. Examples of application from various fields will be used to provide a practical demonstration of the use of the methodologies._x000D__x000D_Features_x000D__x000D__x000D__x000D_Offers a modern presentation of SoS principles and guided description of applying a modeling and analysis process to SoS engineering_x000D_Provides additional modeling approaches useful for SoS engineering, including agent-based modeling_x000D_Covers the current gap in literature between theory and modeling/application_x000D_Features examples of applications from various fields, such as energy grids and regional transportation_x000D_Includes questions, examples, and exercises at the end of each chapter_x000D__x000D_This book is intended for senior undergraduate students in engineering programs studying SoS modeling, SoS analysis, and SoS engineering courses. Professional engineers will also benefit from MTP and examples as a baseline for specific user applications._x000D_ _x000D_
