C-SAINT: a simulation modeling tool customized for workload and information flow analysis

C-SAINT is a customized version of the Fortran-based simulation language SAINT (systems analysis of integrated networks of tasks) for modeling large, complex systems (D.J. Seifert and G.P. Chubb, 1978). C-SAINT is formally presented, and how it will facilitate workload and information analysis tool development for the cockpit automation technology (CAT) program is described. C-SAINT includes several modifications to SAINT that improve its abilities to represent branching processes and to dynamically allocate resources to activities. Two additional output files are generated, and modifications have been made to the content of the detailed iteration report. Potential applications are briefly described, specifically, analysis of modified Petri nets and adaptive network analysis
