Abstract
Software-intensive systems often suffer severe integration and operational/ behavioral problems due to a lack of consistency between the system and software architectures in addressing system quality attributes. These problems often result in rearchitecting and redesigning efforts and operational failures, which significantly affect system cost, schedule, and mission effectiveness. These problems are further exacerbated in a system of systems (SoS) context.
