Methods of evaluation of condition and operability of complex distributed systems are considered in this paper. Author propose a new conceptual model of multi-stage complex performance evaluation based on multi-criteria function including various performance, reliability, stability characteristics indicating their contribution to general system performance. The approach used makes it possible to obtain an integrated assessment of system availability taking into account hardware and software reliability analysis as well as influence of various factors (hardware, software, operator's errors) on overall system condition. Complex Population Notification and Warning System was considered as a subject of the research and was used to test the model developed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
