Technological requirements for a simulation-based acquisition system to manage all aspects of a total system's life cycle

This paper proposes that the complexity of a simulation-based acquisition system depends on the management requirements of total system,including all aspects of its whole life cycle.To develop such a complex management system,the first step is to transfer the management requirements into corresponding functions,by which the targeted life cycle procedure of the whole objective system can be carried out effectively.The conceptual model of mission space(CMMS) was applied to problem area description;extensible markup language(XML) was used as a data,information,knowledge and model integrated descriptive standard;the extensible modeling and simulation framework(XMSF) was used for a component-based,requirements guided system.Composition styles were fully discussed.The research focus was on CMMS and the paper introduces its definition,meaning,formation,performance requirements and applications in detail.Next,a conceptual model of user space(CMUS) and a conceptual model synthetic representation(CMSR),through a software development process(SDP) model,were used along with CMMS to form a development baseline.Afterwards,a case study of CMMS used for producing the initial capability document was evaluated and conclusions made.The technical background of modeling and simulation(MS) should be further studied for composability access and it was shown that AI and CI capabilities should be embedded into applied MS systems.
