Abstract
In this paper we propose an information structure enrichment of relational models underlying design structure models typically used in System-ofSystems. Such design structures are algebraically, logically and topologically mostly unstructured relations as treated within naïve set theory. The paper also aims to show how an enriched information structure can be applied to monitor the health status of a System-of-System as an alternative to fault trees.
