Reliability of system-of-systems: A new challenge of complex engineered systems
摘要
The emergence of systems-of-systems (SoS) brings new challenges for reliability research within the field of system-of-systems engineering (SoSE). In response, this study examines the requirements for measurement, evaluation, and design/testing of SoS reliability. Drawing on research practice in aerospace engineering, it outlines the concept of equipment SoS and proposes a corresponding research framework for equipment SoS reliability. By analyzing both the reliability demands of SoSE and the current research practice in aerospace equipment SoS, this study identifies several key challenges: Modeling of SoS and its reliability, network reliability in SoS, propagation and recovery of disturbances in SoS, reliability design and simulation methods, and reliability management in SoSE.
