Research on aggregation mechanism for combat capability of system-of-systems based on information systems

Recently, engender mechanism for combat capability of system-of-systems based on information systems have been highlighted in the field of military theory research. The goal of this paper is to research on aggregation mechanism which is one of important aspects of engender mechanism. From the complex systems theory angle, the characteristic of the system-of-systems aggregation is analyzed, and the viewpoint that aggregation can be divided into index aggregation and system aggregation is suggested. On the basis of analyzing the aggregation relation of index aggregation, the analytic aggregation model is established. Using the CAS theory, the simulation modeling process and method of the system aggregation are proposed.
