Abstract
To quickly respond to changing business and mission needs, many organizations are integrating new and existing systems with commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) products into network-centric, knowledge-based, software-intensive systems of systems (SoS). With this approach, system development processes to define the new architecture, identify sources to either supply or develop the required components, and eventually integrate and test these high level components are evolving and are being referred to as SoS Engineering (SoSE). This research shows that there exist conditions under which investments in SoSE have positive and negative returns on investment, provides the first quantitative determination of these conditions, and points out directions for future research that would strengthen the results.
