Abstract :
With the increased attention ATM is receiving to meet the needs of a wide variety of applications, tools are needed to help a network designer focus on the design at hand, rather than to spend time exhaustively learning the tools themselves. This is the concept behind IDEA. This paper introduces “modeling engines” chosen to be integrated into IDEA and presents a user interface for networking design. The first objective for IDEA is to demonstrate its usefulness for dependability modeling. Later objectives include incorporating performance and performability modeling
