System-object approach to system analysis: features and benefits
The article discusses the features of system-object determinant analysis (SODA), which is the result of applying the system-object approach "Unit-Function-Object" to the determinant approach of G.P. Melnikov. The advantages of SODA in comparison with existing methods of system analysis are substantiated. The possibilities of SODA to take into account both material and conceptual systems, the correspondence of SODA to an object-oriented approach, the possibility of taking into account general system regularities and conducting proper system analytics, the provision of SODA stages with formalized algorithms are described. It is shown that the presented features distinguish SODA from the known methods of system analysis, providing its advantages in solving problems of system analysis and/or designing complex systems, primarily by improving the controllability of the analysis process. The SODA features have advantages over well-known methods of system analysis. It means that SODA can help to solve typical system-analysis tasks. Moreover, the feature of SODA to build generic, genetic and partial classifications adding possibility to analysis and develop structure of a system.
