Abstract

One of the current research areas at the University of Southern California (USC) Center for Systems and Software Engineering (CSSE) is the development of large scale, software intensive systems of systems (SoS). These SoS are a type of Ultra-Large-Scale Software-Intensive System (ULSSIS) that have become increasingly prevalent in both government and commercial sectors. Research activities have focused on cost estimation and risk assessment associated with the development and evolution of these systems. As part of this research, USC CSSE has teamed with others to learn how SoS engineering processes are evolving to support the development of these systems. This paper highlights the findings of these research activities.
