Technique for Interactive Systems Analysis (TISA)

Abstract

The field of systems analysis has traditionally been devoted to obtaining the necessary basis for design or redesign of hardware systems. While this analytic capability is no less desirable for 'soft' systems, applications in that area have been hampered by data deficiencies, difficulties in system definition and the specification of desired performance, measurement problems, and the like. In response to the problems, a Technique for Interactive Systems Analysis (TISA) has been developed. TISA is a computerized technique for conducting system analysis in a conversational mode from interactive terminals. TISA uses networking algorithms to access and structure system descriptive data from computer files. It can apply various analyses to these data and has the capability to display resulting system networks through the medium of computer graphics. TISA has been further developed as an analytic tool for the design, development and management of organizational processes.
