Engineering Systems Integration

EMMI is reflective of the participation of the individual systems. The management of EMMI within the system of systems structure is portrayed and
enforced by the architecture and protocol that affects each system within the
system of systems. Essential to managing EMMI is the recognition that
the persistence of power is related to the lifecycle of the meaningfulness of
the input EMMI, for example, old information has marginal utility. For
EMMI to be recognized as power, the architecture must reinforce both the
importance of access to receive EMMI as well as the pertinent influence it
represents. Whether power is examined as a political relation (McClurg and
Young 2010) or a social relation (Nieminen 2005), the results are similar. The
conception of power as a relation (Dahl 1969) is the essential driving influence
for designing and architecting a system of systems. Partitioning the sending
of and access to EMMI is the task of the system of systems integrator.
However, EMMI enshrined as a resource is not power. Rather, it is the
access to that resource which represents power, that is, the use of that resource
is always mediated by access. Both the resource and access to the resource
are power.* Power could be prioritized according to the amount of the
resource and the amount of access to that resource. In the subjective domain,
the abstract class entangles the thinking prioritization and the means of
accessing the resource, the social class of integration encompasses the procedures that define access, and the model class orchestrates the kinds of representations that will be corporeally referenced. In biology, the symbiotic
relation between different organisms and plants is often thought to be an
essential component in nature’s balance. Which class of integration could be
ignored? Ignoring the abstract class would eliminate the systems theories
that consider the metainteractions occurring across the planet. Ignoring the
model class excludes lifecycle analysis from which to determine long-term
impacts. Omitting the social class isolates the impact of humans on the environment. At the class level, one scenario suggests that intellectualism drives
the need to mitigate “wasteful” social behaviors, which in turn results in
“improved” models of behavior. Within the integration measurement framework, the object and process domains provide each class with substantial
preferences, always any one over any of the others. The benefit of analyzing
the structures of integration reveals the causal relations between factors
