Resilience based importance measure analysis for SoS

摘要

In a system of systems (SoS), resilience is an important factor in maintaining the functionality, stability, and enhancing the operation effectiveness. From the perspective of resilience, this paper studies the importance of the SoS, and a resilience-based importance measure analysis is conducted to provide suggestions in the design and optimization of the structure of the SoS. In this paper, the components of the SoS are simplified as four kinds of network nodes: sensor, decision point, influencer, and target. In this networked SoS, the number of operation loops is used as the performance indicator, and an approximate algorithm, which is based on eigenvalue of the adjacency matrix, is proposed to calculate the number of operation loops. In order to understand the performance change of the SoS during the attack and defense process in the operations, an integral resilience model is proposed to depict the resilience of the SoS. From different perspectives of enhancing the resilience, different measures, parameters and the corresponding algorithms for the resilience importance of components are proposed. Finally, a case study on an SoS is conducted to verify the validity of the network modelling and the resilience-based importance analysis method.
