The design of a fault-tolerant system requires unique engineering methods
and tools.  CARMS (Computer-Aided Rate Modeling and Simulation) is a PC
Windows-based Markov modeling tool created for the reliability,
maintainability, and availability analysis of such mission-critical
systems.  Typical applications of Markov modeling can be found in journals
such as IEEE Transactions on Computers, etc.

Some of the interactive features of CARMS include:

- Vector-based graphics for constructing transition diagrams.
- Transition matrix with a spreadsheet-style data input screen.
- Expert-system front end which automates model construction.
- Symbolic algebra for simplifying problems.
- Graphical display of results as a function of time.
- Generation of reports to printer, plotter, or file.
- Choice of numerical routines for solving a range of problems.
- Graphics (diagram) export to clipboard.
- Standard help file with context sensitivity.
- A dynamic link library application programming interface.

The CARMS package comes complete with a 250 page book explaining Markov
reliability analysis. CARMS requires PC-compatible computers running under
Microsoft Windows 3.1 with 2 MB of memory. A mouse and math coprocessor
are suggested but not required.

CARMS is available now :

- The standard version of CARMS is $250.
- The student/demo version is $45 (limited to 25 states and
  50 arrows).
  (plus $5 shipping and handling)
