Current technologies in the fields of telecommunications
and computer processing are becoming increasingly integrated
to the extent that "distributed" computer networks are
assuming key roles in communications. The complex
computerized systems necessary to support modern military
command and control requirements are expensive. Designing
such systems "by trial and error is not feasible, yet no
other viable alternatives exist. This thesis offers an
original methodology for evaluating the predicted
performance of military automated systems. Using Petri-Nets
as a modeling tool , computer simulations with color graphics
output are performed to demonstrate the feasibility of this
approach as a systems design tool.
