Abstract

This chapter highlights prior Systems Engineering Research Center funded research on assessing the benefits of modularity for mission and system-of-systems development. An overview on historical motivation, benefits and drawbacks of modularity, and the translation of modular contexts to a system-of-systems perspective are first provided. A decision support framework to assess benefits of modularity is detailed, followed by an example synthetic case study to illustrate the approach. Future directions of research are provided in conclusion.
