Research on network-of-networks model of armament system-of-systems

The network of networks (NoN) is the latest developments of complex network, and it is suitable for researching problem of system of systems (SoS). A conceptual model of armament SoS (ASoS) based on NoN is proposed, which can describe various dynamic and static factors of SoS effectively. The ASoS is mapped to physical network, relationship network and interaction network. The interaction network and physical network are defined, the former is defined in the form of flows of system theory and the relationships of different networks are analyzed qualitatively. The approach of instantiating the conceptual model is introduced, and the method of analyzing base on the instantiated model is shown through a example of simulation.
