Ananalytic model of military system-of-systems based on network-of-networkstheory

Abstract

Network-of-Networks (NoN) is the latest developments of Complex Network, which is suitable for researching problem of System-of-Systems(SoS). We put forward a conceptual model of military SoS based on NoN, the model can describe various dynamic and static factors of SoS effectively. The SoS is mapped into physical network, relationship network and interaction network. The interaction network is defined in the form of flows, and the relationships between different networks are analyzed qualitatively. The approach of instantiating the conceptual model is introduced, the method of analyzing base on the instantiated model is shown through an example of simulation.
