Constructive Cost Model for
Software Intensive Systems-of-Systems:
Understanding the Differences Between SoSE
and Traditional Systems Engineering
Lead Personnel: Jo
Ann Lane
The University of Southern California (USC) Center for Systems
and Software Engineering (CSSE) is currently conducting research
to better understand the differences between System of Systems Engineering
(SOSE) and Traditional Systems Engineering (TSE). As part of this
research, we need to survey key personnel on relatively current
SoSE and TSE programs. “Key personnel” are one or more
technical managers, lead architects, or chief engineers that have
a good overall understanding of the program.
By participating in this research, you will help the industry as
a whole better understand:
- SoSE key activities
- Key issues and risks associated with these types of programs
- How to better plan and manage these types of programs.
Types of information we would like to collect from each program/project
includes:
- General background information on the program (no cost data
required!)
- System characteristics and properties
- Key activities performed along with high-level effort profiles
(% of total effort only—no actual labor hour data)
- Risk/success factors
If you work on an SoSE or relatively large, complex
TSE program that would be a good candidate for this research, review
and complete the survey
and send it to Jo Ann Lane.
