Abstract
A method is provided for developing an architecture model for a system-of-systems (SoS) that includes n system levels L. . . L, each of which includes at least one component of the SoS. For at least i>1, each system level Lincludes at least one component of level L. The method includes developing an architecture model for at least one level of the SoS. For at least i>1, the level Larchitecture model can be developed by developing a functional architecture model for level L, and thereafter transforming the level Lfunctional architecture model into a physical architecture model for level L. The functional architecture model includes a functional and a logical structure for level L. And as such, the functional architecture model is developed based upon a concurrent functional and logical decomposition of a functional architecture model developed for level L.
