Effectiveness evaluation framework for communication satellite system

The effectiveness evaluation framework for communication satellite systems is proposed, integrating the top-down analysis with bottom-up synthesis. The framework includes two parts: holistic analysis and synthesis. This paper chooses information transmission delay as the measures of effectiveness for communication satellite system. In the first part of the framework, ingredients of the system and relations between them are determined by building systematological model. In the second part, the MAS (Multi-Agent System) architecture of communication satellite system and behavior rules of a single communication satellite Agent is studied by applying MAS modeling & simulation method. Finally the rationality of the framework proposed in this paper is validated on AnyLogic platform.
