This study, conducted by Texas Instruments Incorporated, over the period 1 February 1974 to 31 December 1974, extends earlier studies concerning the design and evaluation of a global seismic surveillance system by providing a closer simulation of the physical network for testing alternatives, developing specifications and assessing capability. The simulator employs finite-difference models of major network elements such as communications and signal processing elements. Simulation results were obtained on reliability, delays, queues, and capability for two system alternatives and for a range of design parameter settings.
