Relational Oriented Systems Engineering and Technology Tradeoff Analysis (ROSETTA) Environment

The Rosetta stone provided a means to translate between the Greek, Hieroglyphics, and Egyptian demotic languages by having the same text (a decree) repeated in all three languages. In the same way, the Relational-Oriented Systems Engineering and Technology Tradeoff Analysis (ROSETTA) Environment provides a means to translate between theoretical mathematics, subject-matter expert driven analysis, and modeling and simulation, by representing a single problem using all three types of analysis and highlighting the commonalities and differences between the different representations of the problem. ROSETTA leverages the Relational-Oriented Systems Engineering (ROSE) framework to create a direct mapping between the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methodology and standard quantitative conceptual design space exploration techniques leveraged in technology forecasting and trade studies. These mappings then leverage the mathematical foundations of relational orientation as discussed by Dickerson to ensure precision.
