FINDINGS OF FACT
Appellants describe a simulator that interrelates a future-forecasting
scenario and a design-forecasting scenario during the simulation of a system.
The simulator executes one of a simulation corresponding to the future-
forecasting scenario using parameters of the design-forecasting scenario
indicating that the system satisfies a predetermined performance standard or
a simulation of the design-supporting scenario using parameters of the
future-forecasting scenario indicating that the system does not satisfy the
predetermined performance standard in the future.
Henderson describes a system that simulates the topology of a
telecommunications network to predict the behavior and weaknesses of the
physical network (col. 3, ll. 45 to 52; col. 4, ll. 28 to 35). Henderson
describes a current design-supporting scenario as well as a future-forecasting
scenario (col. 8, ll. 45 to 54; col. 23, ll. 18 to 46). The purpose of running a
simulation of any system is to determine whether any proposed changes to
the system will meet current or future performance standards (col. 8, l. 65 to
col. 9, l. 2; col. 24, ll. 36 to 57). Henderson interrelates future-forecasting
scenario parameters and design-supporting scenario parameters (col. 8, ll. 55
to 65).
Brockel describes a method and apparatus for planning and managing
a communications network (col. 1, ll. 23 to 28). The anticipated impact of
weather changes, propagation patterns and network traffic are taken into
consideration during the forecasting and modeling of the network (col. 2, ll.
29 to 39).
