Model engineering for cyber complex adaptive systems

Authors:   Saurabh Mittal

Abstract

Sociotechnical systems pervade every facet of our life today. These IT systems interact with live users that result in emergent behaviors leading to their classification as complex adaptive systems (CAS). Cyber-CAS (CyCAS) exists in contemporary society when such systems have Internet as their platform. Modeling and Simulation (M&S) for CyCAS is extremely difficult: partly due to inherent complex nature of enterprise IT architectures and partly due to lack of sufficient formal processes used in enterprise systems architecting. Fundamentally, the interaction between various elements is hard to pin down as enterprise architecture components are often treated as black-box with limited information about their internal behaviors. In this article, I provide an overview of the M&S approach for enterprise frameworks, introduce CyCAS, the tools and metrics for various CyCAS Views and the sandbox requirements for CyCAS M&S.
