ATAM - Automated Trade Assessment Modeling

Automated Trade Assessment Modeling program, ATAM, one of software tools designed to assess candidate architectures for data-management system of Space Station. Designed to discriminate among candidates having equally acceptable performance and reliability characteristics. Utilizes data base, defined by user, containing information on candidate architecture. Assesses such trade factors of system as weight, power consumption, and life-cycle cost. Produces detailed parameter assessments as well as single figure of merit for candidate architecture. Written in Microsoft FORTRAN.
