An Investigation of the Information Base Actualization Time when Using Automated and Automatic Tools

Using automatic instead of automated tools is assumed to significantly reduce timing budgets needed for the actualization. However, it seems to be not always the case, especially if we consider the complete actualization cycle. The article presents an investigation of the time needed for the information base actualization when using separate automated or automatic tools, as well as the time needed for the complete actualization cycle. A brief review of the Upper Level Control System information base, whose timing budgets were investigated, is also presented.
