FORMULATION OF SYSTEM STATUS CONTROL TECHNIQUES.
Abstract
Techniques are described for the measurement and prediction of future system performance. Failure prediction using these techniques is accomplished based on the assignment of tolerance limits to appropriate performance characteristics. The techniques developed can be classified into two parts: (1) statistical failure prediction models of general applicability, and (2) measurement and prediction techniques for specific classes of systems taking into account those properties peculiar to the class. In the first part, techniques are derived for systems which are continuously monitored, and for systems checked periodically. In the second part, feedback, adaptive, and redundant systems are considered. The techniques developed are designed to be programmed into automatic checkout equipment. Sample flow charts are given in some cases. Finally, plans for validating these techniques in application to specified hardware systems are described. (Author)
