Recent advances in design-for-resilience of Systems of Systems has proposed using Ecological Network Analysis (a type of graph theory) as a design tool. Some studies have developed heuristics that leverage graph analysis of low-fidelity architecture to inform design decisions. This paper builds on these previous works by testing the heuristics across multiple sizes of networks as well as testing them in combination. The result is new early stage design tools for SoS architecting.
