Verification and Validation within a System of Systems

Abstract

Most systems consist of more than a single element, being composed of multiple systems and system elements. During development, the system life cycle technical processes are applied recursively from the system of interest to the systems at the next level, with the recursion continuing until a system element is reached. The life cycle processes may be conducted in parallel for system elements at the same level. The full set of life cycle processes is applied to each system or system element in turn.

Verification and Validation are technical processes that provide evidence the system being examined fulfils its specified requirements and achieves its intended use. In the same way that the other technical processes are applied within a system of systems, verification and validation (V&V) is applied recursively within the system of systems for each system down to system elements.

This presentation describes the conduct of V&V on a system of systems, including recursive aspects and the interrelationships of V&V and other technical processes across life cycle phases. The discussion includes consideration of the role of V&V on the System of Interest during the development of lower level systems and system elements and a description of System Element Interaction Analysis.

Biography:

Dr. Edward A. Addy has served as Chair of the IEEE Computer Society (CS) Software and Systems Engineering Standards Committee (S2ESC) since 2019 and is Chair of the P1012 Working Group for the Standard on Verification and Validation of Systems, Software, and Hardware. He has been a U.S. Technical Advisor to ISO/IEC JTC1/SC7/WG7. Dr. Addy has served on the IEEE Standards Association Standards Board and several of its committees. He is Chair of the CS Member and Geographic Activities Awards and Recognition Committee and has been the IEEE Technical Activities Board representative to several IEEE-USA committees. He served as a CS Representative to the Systems Council 2018-2019. He received the CS Distinguished Contributor Award in its 2021 inaugural class. Dr. Addy retired in 2002 as a Senior Staff Systems Engineer with Northrop Grumman, having more than 35 years of experience in software and systems engineering management, practice, and research. He has an extensive background in program and project management. He holds a Ph.D. in computer science, with master’s and bachelor’s degrees in mathematics, and has PMP certification. He is a co-author of Reuse-Based Software Engineering: Techniques, Organization, and Measurement (John Wiley & Sons, 2001) and has published and presented on software system assurance and software product lines.
