- Abstract
- In the early stages of a system of systems (SoS) conception, several constituent systems could be available that provide similar functionalities. An SoS design methodology should provide adequate means to model variability in order to support the opportunistic selection of the most desirable SoS configuration. We propose the VANTESS approach that (i) supports SoS modeling taking into account the variation points implied by the considered constituent systems; (ii) includes a heuristics to weight benefits and costs of potential architectural choices (called as SoS variants) for the selection of the constituent systems; and finally (iii) also helps test planning for the selected SoS variant by deriving a simulation model on which test objectives and scenarios can be devised. We illustrate an application example of VANTESS to the “educational” SoS and discuss its pros and cons within a focus group.

- #focusgroup
- It's a method in software engineering to get expert opinions and qualitative feedback from a group of researchers and / or practitioners about a defined area of interest.
- The focus group consists of a carefully planned discussion performed with a limited number of participants, who are asked during the intereview a predifined list of questions about the research of interest.
- No quantitative assessments can be obtained with focus groups
- So, it can provide fast and cost-effective means to obtain initial feedback on new concepts or ideas, by leveraging the experiences of the group members.
