Sullivan/Griswold SoD Project Nugget
Hypothetical Economic Risk Profiles for Design
Innovations

• Lack understanding for economically efficient
  production of ultra-large-scale (ULS)
  software-intensive systems emerging as high
  priorities for government industry
• Methods should be based on a science of the
  phenomena of large-scale design
• Irreducible uncertainty in technical/economic
  outcomes of complex design tasks
• Imposing and exploiting modularity is key to
  managing risk and maximizing value
• Develop a testable, prescriptive, value-oriented
  science of modularity in design
• Representations for modeling economic analysis
  of design structures, evolution
