S.O.B. (Save Our Budget): A Simulation-Based Method for Prediction of Acquisition Costs of Constituents of a System-of-Systems

• S.O.B. method comprises a simulation-based approach to support an early prediction of costs that can be involved to build a System-of-Systems (SoS). Based on specific quality attributes related to functional suitability, the method enables an architect and other stakeholders to decide on the best constituents suppliers that could be acquired to achieve a pre-determined quality threshold, examining different combinations.
