Abstract
An Acknowledged System of Systems (SoS) focus on the interaction and collaboration of SoS and CSs to achieve these SoS-level recognized goals. How the architecture is designed has great influence on the effectiveness of SoS. In this paper, we provide methods to establish the link between top-level architecture modeling and operational scenarios simulation in real Acknowledged SoS case which can help evaluate alternative architectures design. The modeling process includes Acknowledged SoS conceptual model abstraction, architecture modeling based on The Open Group Architecture Framework (TOGAF), executable agent-based model transformation and effectiveness evaluation by simulation. Finally, we use the real case of Epidemic Prevention and Control SoS to illustrate the whole process.
