ABSTRACT
As the military information system moves through the brave new world of Net Centric Warfare (NCW) [1] or Net Enabled Operations (NCO) and the evolution of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Global Information Grid to help implement that vision, the importance of engineering system of system (SoS) in the net centric environment becomes more urgent [2]. The field of system engineering has emerged to address the challenges inherent in these systems, or systemsof-systems. This has necessitated an evolution of the architecting approach, intensified focus on system properties (such as changeability, flexibility, agility, etc.), and recognition of the inseparability of technological system and the enterprise developing and operating such systems.
