Within the Department of Defense (DoD), government, and corporate worlds, large-scale systems of systems (SoS) are increasingly being put together in an unprecedented way. Establishing interoperability between the constituent systems is increasingly a key for an organization to meet its critical goals. However, as organizations envision transparent net-centric operations spanning a large number of systems, we have found that successfully achieving such a vision requires a fundamental shift in traditional ways of thinking about system development, acquisition, and management.
