Abstract:

The Federal Aviation Administrations Advanced Automation Program Office has recognized the need for monitoring and assessing the National Airspace Systems operational performance and for long term planning during the life-cycle of the Host Computer System. The assessment of the operational performance involved the acquisition and analysis of field measurement data, while the long-term capacity planning entails execution of a Host Computer System analytical model using current and project traffic and other system loads. The procedures document defines the activities to be executed in 1 measuring and monitoring operational performance, 2 measuring projecting system workloads, 3 predicting system performance using an analytical performance model, and 4 analyzing and reporting current and predicted future performance of the Host Computer System.
