Effective and efficient preparation for the unforeseeable
conference contribution
posted on 2016-05-04, 13:27 authored by Steve Hinsley, Michael HenshawMichael Henshaw, Carys SiemieniuchThis paper hypothesizes that a System-of-Systems (SoS) that is not fit-for-purpose is
so because it cannot implement the correct, timely and complete transfers of Material, Energy
and/or Information (MEI) between its constituents and with its external environment that are
necessary to achieve a particular result. This research addresses the problem of maintaining a
SoS fit-for-purpose after unpredictable changes in operation, composition or external factors
by creating a method, implemented as an engineering process and supported by an analysis
technique to enhance the affordance {“Features that provide the potential for interaction by
“Affording the ability to do something” [1]} of SoS constituents for MEI transfer and reveal
potential undesirable transfers.
