Abstract
A computer logic model has been used to anticipate the functioning of an electronic system over its complete life span. Performance, cost, and availability comparisons were made between an existing equipment, Conalog, and redesigns using advanced microcircuit techniques. Results from the model indicated reductions in: cost of ownership by one-third, number of failures to one-tenth, and skill level of maintenance. Ten years of system operation were simulated using the IBM GPSS language in two minutes of IBM 7094 II time.
