METHOD FOR OPTIMISATION OF AN AVIONICS PLATFORM

The invention relates to a method for optimisation of the avionics platform of an aircraft, intended to implement a set of avionics functions. The association between the platform's functional architecture elements (functions, functional links) and the elements of its equipment architecture (equipment, network paths, direct physical links) are formalised by sets of constraints in the form of linear inequalities of decision variables. Certain segregation or co-location functional constraints are also envisaged. Optimisation of the avionics platform is achieved through the minimisation of cost functions which are linearly dependent on said decision variables. This minimisation under constraints is achieved in an effective manner by the Simplex algorithm.
