System-of-Systems textbook now available
We are excited to announce the release of our new book, System of Systems Modeling and Analysis , authored by our team.
2024 Spring Graduates
Congratulations to Tyler Adams, Seejay Patel, Liam Ward, and Vladimir Zeltsman for earning their MS (thesis) degrees. All have excelled in their programs, and we wish them well.
New research project opportunities for prospective graduated students
Our research group has new funded graduate research assistant opportunities for outstanding prospective graduate students interested in high-speed systems/mission design research, especially enabled by AI/ML. Due to Department of Defense (DoD) regulations related to this research area, successful applicants for some of these projects will be US citizens.
No upcoming events.
Welcome to our site
CISA research is focused upon the development of foundational theories, methods and tools for addressing challenges characterized as system-of-systems. Pursuit of this focus includes establishment of an effective frame of reference, crafting of a common lexicon, and study of various modeling and simulation techniques, including probabilistic robust design (e.g., uncertainty modeling/management), agent-based modeling, network theory, object oriented simulations, and tools for capturing the interaction of requirements, concepts, and technologies. The Center seeks to advance the "science of integration" in multiple domains, including especially Next-generation Air Transportation Architectures (especially including the presence of revolutionary aerospace vehicles, new business models, and alternate policy constructs), integrated defense/command and control/battle management, human and robotic space exploration, and several others.
