SYSE.18:11 - SoTA and Source Use
| Source line | Retained contribution | Limit and guard |
|---|---|---|
| Papadopoulos, Tortola, and Geyer 2024 and Baldwin et al. 2024 | Several interdependent decision centres should be compared through their setting, operations, outcomes, and feedback over time. | The reviews report broad terminology, beneficial and harmful outcomes, and long-term evidence gaps; they establish no universally better governance arrangement. |
| Raz et al. 2024 | Connect mission tasks, constituent capabilities, candidate configurations, consistency, and bounded alternative evaluation. | One simplified defence-funded demonstration establishes neither a universal ontology nor cross-domain effectiveness. |
| Swickline, Mazzuchi, and Sarkani 2024 | Preserve separately maintained model sources while forming a larger behaviour and structure description. | One SysML/Cameo Method and lunar-rover case supplies description Work, not physical integration or universal architecture. |
| Ashfaq et al. 2026 | A systematic review retains several runtime-composition problems, solution families, tools, and evaluations for dynamic software-intensive Systems. | Software-intensive scope and unresolved sociotechnical alignment prevent a universal integration Method. |
| SEBoK, “Applying the Systems Approach,” 2026 revision | Concurrent, iterative, and recursive use of Systems Engineering across several Systems of interest. | Older lifecycle and requirements framing and component stop rules are not retained as this pattern’s structure. |
This is a bounded expert synthesis, not evidence of field prevalence or causal superiority. Reopen a used source claim when later systematic comparison changes its decision-centre, outcome, feedback, integration, or transfer boundary.
