Methodology for modeling information­processing processes of a telecommunication system based on chains of functional converters of traffic volumes

Achievement of the modern level of development of society and the state is impossible without the use of computer systems, information transportation systems, telecommunication systems (TS) — telecommunication networks and communication network management. The widespread adoption of telecommunication systems is determined by the availability of financial, human and software and hardware resources. The availability of these resources in public, industrial and state entities is limited. Therefore, the search for rational components of telecommunication systems as a whole is an urgent task of new developments and research, which allows achieving a predetermined level of information processing quality with minimal expenses for creating and operating by redistributing their parameter values, and making the telecommunication system construction process focused, organized. The purpose of telecommunication management in general and automation of management in particular is to ensure the optimal functioning of telecommunication networks in accordance with their purpose, in which telecommunications perform the necessary tasks with a minimum of material, financial, physical, intellectual costs. The article proposes a general statement of the problem of formalized selection of a set of technical tools for information processing systems and a methodology for solving this mathematical programming problem; it allows you to build a telecommunication system by isolating and forming a multitude of traffic volume functional converter circuits in the telecommunication network structure and managing the telecommunication network, and further modeling in their subsystems, phases of information processing processes.
