Query: Fuzzy Decision Analysis in Negotiation between the System of Systems
  Agent and the System Agent in an Agent-Based Model   Previous papers have described a computational approach to System of Systems
(SoS) development using an Agent-Based Model (ABM). This paper describes the
Fuzzy Decision Analysis used in the negotiation between the SoS agent and a
System agent in the ABM of an Acknowledged SoS development. An Acknowledged SoS
has by definition a limited influence on the development of the individual
Systems. The individual Systems have their own priorities, pressures, and
agenda which may or may not align with the goals of the SoS. The SoS has some
funding and deadlines which can be used to negotiate with the individual System
in order to illicit the required capability from that System. The Fuzzy
Decision Analysis determines how the SoS agent will adjust the funding and
deadlines for each of the Systems in order to achieve the desired SoS
architecture quality. The Fuzzy Decision Analysis has inputs of performance,
funding, and deadlines as well as weights for each capability. The performance,
funding, and deadlines are crisp values which are fuzzified. The fuzzified
values are then used with a Fuzzy Inference Engine to get the fuzzy outputs of
funding adjustment and deadline adjustment which must then be defuzzified
before being passed to the System agent. The first contribution of this paper
is the fuzzy decision analysis that represents the negotiation between the SoS
agent and the System agent. A second contribution of this paper is the method
of implementing the fuzzy decision analysis which provides a generalized fuzzy
decision analysis.
