sose会议级别_2016年第11届系统工程的系统会议 2016 11th System of Systems Engineering Conference SoSE...

Several sociotechnical aspects of SoSE include

Operating across various autonomous systems, such as cultural, religious, political, economic, environmental, legal, and moral systems, and appreciating their differences

Incorporating Political, Operational, Economic, as well as Technical (POET) and other business objectives

Clarifying boundaries, ideally by consensus of critical stakeholders, primarily between the SoS and its environment but also among SoS component systems

Modeling stakeholder roles and their potential interactive processes

Assisting and assessing decision making through heuristics as well as fact-based analyses

Aligning strategic, tactical, operational, and procedural thrusts

Creating methods and "chaordic artifacts", i.e., complex system tools, to address sociotechnical aspects

Suggesting behaviors and principles to support sociotechnical objectives.

The addition of other sociotechnical aspects is also welcome. A nexus between complex systems concepts and SoSE can encompass

Systems thinking and its impact on holistic approaches and possible outcomes

Self organisation among systems and their designers, developers, testers, and operators

Adaptation to environmental changes and emergent properties of the SoS

Co-evolution among SoS component systems

Robustness and resilience in SoS performance

Sensitivity to small changes of initial conditions

Path dependence and unpredictability even under deterministic conditions

Lack of sustained stability or points of equilibrium

Leadership in distributed and otherwise complex environments

Coping with strange attractors.

Other complexity concepts potentially useful in SoSE may come to mind.

Several SoSE application domains, in which case studies are highly recommended, include

Defense and aerospace systems

Logistical supply chains

Earth's environmental support (green) systems

Global warming science and management

Natural and human-made disaster management

Utility power distribution systems and their management

Air traffic management, including modernization, air traffic and flow control, safety standards, aircraft and ground terminal equipage, and funding

Federal, state, and local government roles, services, and systems, including political aspects, e.g., public opinion, special interests, lobbying, contributions, etc.

Financial systems and their interactions and integration

Health Care, which includes a host of medical, financial, procedural, database technology, and patient information sharing and privacy topics

Diplomatic and other management efforts to ward-off threats of warring nations

Nuclear weapon proliferation prevention and disarmament

Terrorism prevention (understanding why they hate, and dealing with root causes), threat mitigation, and management

Undoubtedly, there are many other domains and applications of interest, as well, for example, the impact of

Unlimited material growth

Overpopulation

on the Earth's ability to respond, and if unchecked, their implications on the ultimate deterioration in our quality of life on this planet. Several special categories such as "open cloud computing" can entail the following topics and/or issues, for example

Governance with its openness nature

Information sharing opportunities and risks, cybersecurity, and privacy

Compliance with legal issues

Sources and standards of interest

Commercial issues, e.g., technological opportunities, vendor market share or lock-in, and sustainability

Big data concerns, e.g., whether all that information out there is worth mining, how one can obtain just that information of interest, and, if desired for camouflaging or disruption, how to disseminate disinformation, or flood the media with so much legitimate information that even that confuses adversaries.

Naturally, SE approaches, chaordic artifacts, methods, and processes relevant to SoSE, enterprise and/or complex systems engineering are of interest, such as

Governance by some overseeing body

SoSE model-based systems engineering (MBSE)

Systems thinking-based approaches

SoS test and evaluation (T&E) (whatever that means)

SoS utilities (whatever they may be)

Estimating SoS performance and measuring actual performance

Predicting SoS behavior; this may be difficult, if not impossible

SoS road-mapping and trajectory shaping based on actual groundbreaking paths

SoS architectures, and adapting a generic SoS architecture for specific applications

Enterprise and complex system architecting

Opportunity pursuit and risk mitigation in SoS

Overall effects of cascading events

Offered guidance to cope with emergence

Extending human limits in handling complexity to the extent possible.

Then there is SoSE modeling, simulation, and analysis utilizing software (and/or hardware or firmware) that is based on

Agents

System dynamics

Mathematics

Formality

Processes

Roles

Cultures.

Finally, there is entrepreneurship dealing with

Systems changing stability levels

Scenario planning

Identifying meanings

Fast responses to achieve market share, for example.
