The National Centers for Systems of Systems Engineering (NCSOSE) is a university research center for Old Dominion University established to draw together academia, government, and industrial organizations to resolve problems, develop technologies, and direct research concerning major issues in the design, analysis, and integration of complex systems of systems. NCSOSE was born out of a recognized need to effectively develop, coordinate, and integrate research and applications to engineer increasingly complex systems that must function as integrated systems of systems.
NCSOSE's primary objective is to advance the body of knowledge and state-of-the art relating to engineering complex system of systems. NCSOSE supports the development of practical solutions and directs applied research that addresses contemporary system of systems engineering problems; provides high-quality information resources for those who make decisions, influence policy, and are charged with integration of complex systems of systems; and provides training and education in systems of systems engineering. NCSOSE frequently works in partnership with other research organizations and higher education institutions to enhance the quality of research in systems of systems engineering by promoting the interchange of academic research and knowledge.
NCSOSE's offices are located at 4111 Monarch Way Suite 406, Norfolk, VA in the new Innovation Research Park Building (http://www.irpodu.com/)
