The Architecture Generator (AG) is the main component of our approach, playing a crucial role in creating SoS architectures in the System Entity Structure (SES) language, which was designed to detail the decomposition of systems into subsystems based on a given perspective, and how such subsystems interact with each other. The AG generates the SES architecture using information from the JSON files missionFileJson and cssBehaviorFileJson, which are produced by the other two components, ME and CBA, respectively.
The essence of AG's functionality is rooted in the Algorithm section.
The AG's core is based on the algorithm described below.
Constructed using Python, the AG service is a lightweight, dynamic, and web-compatible solution. The choice of language complements the ME algorithm's versatility and caters to the overarching requirements of the System of Systems context.
Before running the application, make sure to install the required dependencies. You can install them using pip:
pip install -r requirements.txtBefore you start the AG, be sure to start it.
python server.pyAccess the AG from the GraphQL endpoint:
http://localhost:4003/graphqlNote:
- The default PORT is 4003, but can be change for your convenience.
- This project heavily relies on GraphQL, a powerful query language for APIs, and a server-side runtime for executing those queries with your existing data. If you're unfamiliar with GraphQL or wish to dive deeper, you can learn more about GraphQL here.
The AG, currently in the evolutionary phase. It is actively undergoing improvements and changes to refine its capabilities and more effectively meet new requirements.
