Abstract

The system of systems software assurance (SoSSA) team focuses on:

  • assurance that undiscovered defects and vulnerabilities, as well as unanticipated usage, environmental conditions, reconfiguration, and evolution, will not impair functioning unacceptably
  • reliability, security, and performance
  • systems of systems in which rapid end-user adaptation is needed 
  • the use of structured argumentation (assurance cases) to achieve justified confidence in SoS behavior
