THE FLIGHT SERVICE AUTOMATION SYSTEM (FSAS) SYSTEM BENCHMARK. VOLUME II: THE MODEL OF THE APPLICATION

In support of the FAA procurement of the Flight Service Automation System (FSAS), MITRE has developed a new system benchmarking technology to meet the requirements of an interactive, dedicated application. This methodology is applicable to procurements in which the hardware/operating system configurations are off-the-shelf and the applications software has not yet been implemented in its eventual form. In this methodology, a model of the application is interfaced with the operating system and is executed, while being driven by a specified load, and performance of the proposed configuration is measured. This report documents the requirements of the FSAS application of this system benchmark methodology and is published in the present form to record and make available the concepts and techniques of the methodology. A pervious version of this report had been invoked in the FAA's procurement process. The entire report consists of eight parts, published in four volumes. This volume contains Part IV, Model. This part describes the model of the application and provides requirements and guidelines for mapping the model to the proposed configurations and for selection of options in the model.
