In this research, our objective is to develop a model which could evaluate the maintenance capability for a maintenance battalion in the mechanized division. To analyze the maintenance system, we obtained various data related to maintenance capability and described the maintenance process as a network type. This network type model is then translated to SLAM-II network model to simulate the system. The simulation model can be operated by using appropriate input data and simulation results are obtained. The simulation model can be applied in various way. Through the simulation we could find the bottle neck point in the maintenance process. Also the maximum capability of maintenance with on hand asset and the wartime supportability can be evaluated. The mode provides sensitivity analysis by changing various imput data such as the number of repairmen, repair time, failure rate and so on.

In a multiple-bus multiprocessor system in which processors and memory modulus are interconnected through system buses, time delay due to bus contention degrades system performance. In order to reduce such a problem , and optimal bus arbitration scheme and its hardware are neccessary. In this study, performaces of four arbitration schemes are analyzed and compared : fixed-priority, equal-priority, rotating-priority and round-robin priority schemes. For the study, the software simulator of a multiple-bus multiprocessor system is developed by using SLAM II. Simulation results show that, when memory sccesses are evenly distributed to all memory modulus, round-robin priority scheme provides the best performance. But when a hot spot exists, the use of the fixed priority scheme results in the shortest access time.

In this paper load redistribution algorithm to allow fault-tolerance by redistributing the workload of n failure nodes to the remaining good nodes in distributed systems are investigated. To evaluate the efficiency of the algorithms a simulation model of algorithms is developed using SLAM II simulation language. The job arrival rate service rate failure and repair rate of nodes and communication delay time due to load migraion are used as parameters. The result of the simulation shows that the job arrival rate failure and repair rate of nodes do not affected on the relative efficiency of algorithms. If the communication delay time is greater than average job processing time algorithm B is better. Otherwise algorithm C is superior to the others.

This paper aims to support delay-sensitive multimedia applications by suggesting a mechanism in which maintains almost constant end-to-end delay thus providing the optimum playout synchronization. For this task the sum of network delay and buffering delay is entiredly managed and to eliminate little delay fluctuations and instantaneous delays at a buffer and a network, a low pass filter is used. Furthermore the correction function, which is used for maintaining the buffering level ot a reference value, is a non-linear step function, unlike the existing linear and continuous function. it has a different step sizes adapting to a traffic characteristics of a network congestion. the proposed mechanism has been confirmed of it sefficiency through SLAM-II netowrk.

In order to support various broadband multimedia servies in the future, we designed a well balanced WDM backbone network. In Korean network traffic environment, six regional centers are selected, link capacities between the regional centers are estimated from the PDI traffic model, and the overall network configuration is designed for the all-optical backbone network. Also, we designed a basic configuration to be able to protect minimum communication capability against link failure. A simulation study is carried out to verify the desired performance of the designed WDM backbone network. Simulation results show that performance of the backbone network is well balanced to support various communication services in Korea in the mid 2000s

In this paper, we have presented a quantitative performance effect of CCP(Call Control Processor) when SAAL(Signalling ATM Adaptation Layer) function is distributed from CCP to SIMs(Subscriber Interface Modules) in an ATM switching system with distributed architecutre. For the performance analysis, SLAM II simulation language is used and subscriber signalling messageand inter-processor communication messages according to Q.2931 based local call processing procedure are taken into consideration in the proposed queuing network model. The results of simulation are compared with in case of processing SAAL function on CCP. It is observed that the processing utilization of CCP reach 24,000 BHCA and 25,700 BHCAwhen SAAL function load amounts to 10% and 20% of the processing time of the total message, respectively. These values shows that the processing utilization of CCP is alleviated about 7% in comparison with 2,000 BHCA in case that SAAL function is carried out on CCP. Consquently, it is shown that we have to consider seriously how to distribute the functions concerning call processing in a large cale ATM switching system architecture accomodating a number of SIMs.

Intelligent Peripheral(IP) system is to provide specialized resource functions (SRF) such as playing announcement, collecting user information, and receiving messages in the Advanced Intelligent Network (AIN). We analyze the call processing capacity of an AIN IP system being developed in ETRI through an extensive simulation using SLAM II under a variety of AIN service scenarios. We consider televoting (VOT) and universal personal telecommunication (UPT) services which are to be provided at the fit implementation of the AIN in Korea. As the performance criteria to determine the call processing capacity, processor utilization, delay and call loss probability are considered. It turns out that the major processor called SAMP is the bottleneck processor, the service response delay dominates the delay performance, and the call loss probability becomes the primary criterion in determining the call processing capacity of the AIN IP system. It is also shown that the call processing capacity of the AIN IP system is determined by the utilization of the processor and the delay performance when the VOT ratio is below 70 percent but it is determined by the call loss probability due to the lack of service channels for providing the SRF operations.

In this paper, performance of MAP management system traffic is analyzed, to realize the network management function in automated manufacturing network mini-MAP. The network management system, which controls and supervises the network resources in the communication network, is the function that is necessarily required in this network. Since the real time response must be required in the Mini-MAP network, the delay performance of the network needs to be analyzed. By means of both analytical method and simulation for cyclic queueing model, the delay time distributions due to the increasement of transmission data are obtained in the implemented management network where SLAM II package is used for simulation. In addition, the parameters of the management function affecting the transmission delay are considered so that these parameters can be used to implement network management system.

Handling the manufacured goods is the most cost-consuming task in material handling system in wooden furniture industries. Fully automated warehouse for cartoned goods of a furniture manufacturing company was analized to provide plant engineers and managers with some important informations on the utility and profitability of the automated storage and retrieval system(AS/RS). Process-oriented simulation modeling tech-niques were used to describe the system and to propose some alternatives to promote the efficiency of AS/RS. Simulation report could be inter-preted as follows: 1. Warehouse for the furniture goods must be designed in accordance with reliable material handling program and constructed with suitable equipments depending on the specification of packed products. 2. An excess of palletized products induced the indigestion and the inefficiency of AS/RS of the furniture industry and put this high-costly system into the shade. 3. Overcrowded AS/RS of the furniture factories could regain its material handling function by cutting down the deposit of products into the automated warehouse. For this purpose, reducing the regular output and direct delivering the outside products to the destination should be considered as the definite counterplan. And additional operation of conventional handy warehouse was also expected to improve the efficiency of main AS/RS.
