An Example of Combinatorial Evolution and Forecasting of Requirements to Communication Systems

Abstract

The paper presents an analysis of the combinatorial evolution and prediction of modular systems in application to requirements to communications. A hierarchical model of the system of requirements is used (local alternative variants of modifications, their characteristics, tree-like structure over local modifications). The forecasting is based on combinatorial optimization models (hierarchical morphological design) in the form of selecting the best local modifications and combining them with allowance for their compatibility. An illustrative example describes a four-stage evolution and forecasting of a hierarchical system of requirements to the topology of a communication system.
