Abstract: The book is devoted to designing and constructing optimal modular data processing systems. Various optimality criteria are considered, eg time used for data transmission, reliability, and efficiency. Moreover restrictions imposed on the system are taken into account. The examined questions concern both the optimal decomposition of systems into modules and the optimal database structure. Each problem is reduced to an integer nonlinear programming problem and algorithms for solving these problems are presented. One of the chapters is devoted to applications of Petri nets to the synthesis and analysis of modular systems.
Keywords: synthesis (of) modular system; analysis (of) modular system; reliability; efficiency; decomposition; database structure.
