Description:: There is a current need to study and understand the behaviors and characteristics of systems of systems. Studying a single system is relatively straightforward when compared to studying a system of systems. A system of systems has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a single system....

Description:: As engineering projects grow in complexity, estimating the required engineering effort during the development phase of a project has become more art than science. Predictions of required engineering effort are based on empirical models fitted to historical data with additional subjective factors,...
