Goal-driven software reuse in the IV&V of system of systems

This paper addresses the need to increase the effectiveness and productivity of independent verification and validation (IV & V) of complex system-of-systems software via software reuse. It builds upon our previous work on reusing the system reference model (SRM) artifacts in the IV & V of system-of-systems software and presents a framework for organizing the reusable artifacts according to a common set of business goals. We demonstrate the proposed framework using NASA science missions as examples.
