MODELS, METHODS AND TECHNIQUES FOR ANALYZING AND SYNTHESIZING MODULAR MANAGEMENT-INFORMATION-SYSTEMS

An overview of russian and foreign works on methods for analyzing and synthesizing modular data processing systems is presented. Models, methods, and formalized techniques which make it possible to develop modular management information systems (MIS) of optimal design and operational characteristics ranging over a wide variety of purposes are given. Both the development problems and the experience of practical implementation of software tools backing up computer-aided design of optimal and standardized modular MISs are discussed.
