• INNOVATION
• System engineering computer software tool to
  model how
• certain applications will affect a proposed
  systems performance
• ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Models can be assembled, tested and modified to
  meet project requirements, long before funds are
  invested in the computer
• Does real-time analysis of a proposed system
  after it has been configured
• Consists of both analytics (less time consuming
  and fast mathematical model) and discrete event
  simulation (more time consuming and more
  precise)
• Addresses all components of system, including
  hardware, software, network, and data placement
• COMMERCIALIZATION
• Commercial product introduced, initial sales of
  150K
• Worldwide Sales Channel, one of 10 largest
  software distributors, projects commercial sales
  of 25M
• Strategic partnership based upon technology
  established with large hardware company
• Contract with Computer Associates supported
  porting to PC and UNIX environment, CA now
  markets and sells software as Application
  Modeler

Modeling Hardware Architectures

• GOVERNMENT/ SCIENCE APPLICATIONS
• Used to predict performance of proposed
  real-time, aerospace systems, embedded systems,
  and/or scientific systems
• Resource planning exercises for enterprise-wide
  computer based systems after deployment
• Currently used in support of NASAs Earth
  Observing System Data Operational System (EDOS)
