Statistical characteristics of an integrated oceanographic data processing system

Integration of special- and general-purpose application packages is considered as an efficiency improving technique, A package integration system is defined and its statistical characteristics are computed. Parallel and sequential package integration systems are analyzed. A real-life system, developed on the basis of sequential integration principles is described. This is a computer-aided oceanographic data processing system for the ES OS environment, which includes preprocessing and data preparation programs, a number of special-purpose application packages, and interfaces between these packages.Translated from Vychislitel'naya i Prikladnaya Matematika, No. 62, pp. 113–122, 1987.
