Performance modeling simulation of complex systems (A Systems Engineering Desin Analysis Approach)

摘要

Modeling of the Multi-mission Image Processing System (MIPS) will be described as an example of the use of a modeling tool to design a distributed system that supports multiple application scenarios. This paper examines (a) modeling tool selection, capabilities, and op[eration (namely NETWORK II.5 by CACI), (b) pointers for building or constructing a model and how the MPIS model was developed, (c) the importance of benchmarking or testing the performance of equipment/subsystems being considered for incorporation the design/architecture, (d) the essential step of model validation and/or calibration using the benchmark reults, (e) sample simulation results from the MIPS model, and (f) how modeling and simulation analysis affected the MIPS design process by having a supportive and informative impact.
