随着系统规模和复杂性的不断增长，系统集成(SI)已成为一个关键问题。在国防和航空航天领域尤其如此。SI涉及连接和启用组件元素的交互，以共同提供系统实现其目标所需的功能。SI是整个系统开发生命周期的一部分。当存在需要集成的遗留系统时，以及当人类是系统的组成部分时，SI会增加复杂性。当系统在面对运行环境中的意外情况时必须表现出弹性和适应性时，就会引入一层额外的复杂性。这篇文章阐述了SI的主要观点和挑战。具体地说，它展示了集成的连续体，从松散到紧密的集成。它提供了一个SI本体，该本体用标准语言捕获关键问题和关注点。它还介绍了各种类别的融合及其独特的挑战。本文旨在澄清各种类型的整合，并启发人们对同声传译的新思维。
As systems continue to grow in scale and complexity, systems integration (SI) has become a key concern. This is especially the case in defense and aerospace. SI involves interfacing and enabling the interactions of component elements to collectively provide the functionality needed by the system to accomplish its goals. SI is part of the overall system development life cycle. SI increases in complexity when there are legacy systems that need to be integrated, and when humans are an integral part of the system. An added layer of complexity is introduced when the system has to exhibit resilience and adaptability in the face of contingencies in the operational environment. This paper addresses key perspectives and challenges in SI. Specifically, it presents the integration continuum, ranging from loose to tight integration. It presents a SI ontology that captures the key issues and concerns in a standard language. It also presents various categories of integration and their unique challenges. This paper is intended to clarify various types of integration and to stimulate new ways of thinking about SI.
