Increasingly complex systems of systems (SoS) have to be developed in ever shorter times‐to‐market at reduced costs and with high reliability. In addition, as the life cycle of such SoS frequently spans across several decades, customer expectations and market conditions will evolve. Systems engineering (SE)/model‐based systems engineering (MBSE) and configuration management (CM) need to be ever more closely integrated to appropriately address this situation. CM as a discipline is essential for establishing traceability and controlling baseline evolutions between all the relevant pieces of information resulting from the related system life cycle processes of all constituent systems of such SoS; but for this to work, the scope of CM must be extended both throughout the entire life cycle and across all participating monolithic systems. New frameworks are needed to effectively and efficiently apply CM across SoS arrangements. This paper proposes an ontology‐based, federative approach to managing the inherent complexity of CM in the context of SoS, with particular focus on a change management framework for SoS. Examples from a conceptual system that is concerned with the submarine exploration of Enceladus as part of the “Saturn exploration system” are used to demonstrate typical SE/MBSE artifacts and how CM needs to address them across the involved operational and enabling systems.

扩展配置管理的范围，以支持系统的开发和生命周期支持—适用于Enceladus潜艇勘探着陆器的本体驱动框架

必须在越来越短的时间内开发出越来越复杂的系统系统（SoS），以降低成本并提高可靠性。此外，由于此类SoS的生命周期经常跨越数十年，因此客户期望和市场条件将不断发展。系统工程（SE）/基于模型的系统工程（MBSE）和配置管理（CM）需要更加紧密地集成在一起，以适当地解决这种情况。CM作为一门学科，对于建立溯源和控制所有相关信息之间的基线演变至关重要，这些信息是由此类SoS的所有组成系统的相关系统生命周期过程产生的；但是，要使此方法起作用，必须将CM的范围扩展到整个生命周期以及所有参与的整体系统。需要新的框架来有效，高效地将CM应用于SoS安排中。本文提出了一种基于本体的联合方法，用于在SoS上下文中管理CM的固有复杂性，特别关注于SoS的变更管理框架。来自概念系统的示例与作为“土星探索系统”一部分的土卫二的海底勘探有关，被用来演示典型的SE / MBSE工件以及CM如何在涉及的运行和启用系统中解决它们。
