[edit] ABACUS

ABACUS is a software package that can create multiple solution alternatives ("architectures") and then run various simulations or calculations against each alternative for metrics such as Cost, Agility, Performance (utilising a Discrete event simulation) and Reliability (using the Monte Carlo method). In so doing it can recommend the optimal path for investment, with predictive and quantitative certainty.

ABACUS is deployed across different market sectors in over 25 countries worldwide. The current release of ABACUS is version 3.0 ^[1]. The name ABACUS stands for the "Architecture-Based Analysis of Complex Systems" ^[2]
