Implementing Usage-Sensitive Charges for AUTODIN. Volume I. Basic Study.

Abstract

A technique is developed for accumulating and processing data on AUTODIN digital communication usage, applying usage rates and computing user charges for billing purposes. The program was activated on Defense Commercial Communications Office computers and tested using a special 1978 sample of actual system traffic and several alternate rate structures. Resulting cost distributions are shown and discussed. The problems of system implementation and interpretation of data are discussed. (Author)
