Abstract
A method of modeling a mission system. The system is represented as a plurality of architectural components. At least some of the architectural components are configured with availability characteristics to obtain a model of the system. The model is implemented to assess availability in the mission system. The model may be implemented to perform tradeoff decisions for each individual component and interrelated components. Availability can be assessed for the system, given all of the tradeoffs.

18. A method of modeling a system comprising:
-
using a plurality of components of generic structure (COGSs) to represent hardware components and software components of the system;
associating each of at least some of the COGSs with one or more availability analysis components to obtain a model representing availability characteristics of the system; and
inputting one or more spreadsheets to a discrete event simulation tool to implement the model. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
