Abstract

SAINT, Systems Analysis of Integrated Networks of Tasks, is a network modeling and simulation technique developed to assist in the design and analysis of complex man-machine systems.* SAINT provides the concepts necessary to model systems that consist of tasks (discrete elements), state variables (continuous elements), and interactions between them. It facilitates the assessment of the contribution that system components make to overall system performance.
