Abstract

SADT/SAINT is a highly structured, top-down simulation methodology for defining, analyzing, communicating, and documenting large-scale systems. Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT), developed by SofTech, provides a functional representation and a data model of the system that is used to define and communicate the system. System Analysis of Integrated Networks of Tasks (SAINT), currently used by the USAF, is a simulation technique for designing and analyzing man-machine systems but is applicable to a wide range of systems. By linking SADT with SAINT, large-scale systems can be defined in general terms, decomposed to the necessary level of detail, translated into SAINT nomenclature, and implemented into the SAINT program. This paper describes the linking of SADT and SAINT resulting in an enhanced total simulation capability that integrates the analyst, user, and management.
