Constructive System of Systems Integration Cost Model COSOSIMO Workshop November 7, 2006 Outbrief

1. Constructive System of Systems Integration Cost Model (COSOSIMO) Workshop November 7, 2006 ******************Outbrief Jo Ann Lane jolane@usc.edu University of Southern California Center for Systems and Software Engineering

2. COSOSIMO tutorial Discussion of System of Systems Engineering (SoSE) Is it really different from traditional systems engineering with respect to cost estimation? If so, how? People talents/skills profiles? New or modified processes? Technology/product characteristics? SoSE Survey � review and comment Agenda

4. COSOSIMO Tutorial Overview COSOSIMO Background How COSOSIMO fits into the COCOMO suite Methodology being used to develop model Goal of COSOSIMO � to complement other COCOMO cost models History of COSOSIMO System of Systems (SoS) and SoS Engineering (SoSE) Environment What is an SoS � COSOSIMO definition based on definitions by Mark Maier and Andy Sage What is an LSI � looks at typical activities performed by organizations responsible for development of an SoS What is SoSE � Key definitions provided by USAF Scientific Advisory Board on SoSE, National Centers for Systems of Systems Engineering, and Wikipedia Comparison of SE to SoSE � summary of differences between traditional SE and SoSE as well as SoSE challenges gleaned from recent SoSE conferences and workshops

5. COSOSIMO Tutorial Overview (continued) COSOSIMO Tutorial Current COSOSIMO Cost Estimation Approach Overview of COSOSIMO 3 sub-models and their associated parameters Planning, Requirements Management, and Architecting (PRA) Source Selection and Supplier Oversight (SO) Integration and Test (I&T More detailed parameter descriptions can be found in USC-CSE-2006-606 (see http://sunset.usc.edu/csse/TECHRPTS/) Conclusions Summarizes SoSE observations and planned COSOSIMO direction Expected COSOSIMO availability (depends on data availability): Fall 2007 References COSOSIMO-related SoSE-related

6. What is Needed to Support Fall 2007 Availability Participation in current SoSE surveys Data from both SoS and SE programs Process descriptions to help understand the differences between SoSE and SE Effort data to calibrate COSOSIMO (either standalone model or special calibration of COSYSMO)

7. SoSE Discussions: General Recommendations/Areas for Further Research Should consider operations costs vs. development cost tradeoffs Can the model, via DoDAF, help you conceive the scope of the system and subsystems?� A raw number (for the size drivers) does not capture nested complexities Need to look at Service-Oriented architectures See Cancer Biomedical Informatics Grid (caBIG) https://cabig.nci.nih.gov Uniqueness of SoSE�is this simply a state of mind that reflects the traditional systems engineering discipline but packaged in a more formal way? Should look at effort required to develop SoS-specific vocabulary

8. Review of SoSE Survey New survey developed to better understand SoSs and SoSE Key parts to survey Survey participant information � want to interview key SoSE technical managers/engineers SoS program characteristics SoS characteristics and properties SoSE characteristics SoSE life cycle model SoSE process model description Success of SoS Reasons for success Reasons why not so successful What else is important Recommendations from workshop attendees to be incorporated into the next update
