Monotonic Indices Space Method and Its Application in the Capability Indices Effectiveness Analysis of a Notional Antistealth Information System

This paper presents the monotonic indices space (MIS) method used for the extended complex system capability indices effectiveness analysis. Based on the assumption that indices are monotonic with respect to the requirement measurements, an algorithm is proposed and applied to attain numerical approximation of monotonic indices requirement locus with hyperboxes. Two algorithms for acquiring intersection of several monotonic indices requirement loci are proposed, and two system analysis models based on MIS, the system evaluation model and the index sensitivity analysis model, are put forward. Finally, the models previously mentioned are used to analyze the capability indices effectiveness of a notional antistealth information system. The results show that the MIS method is promising.
