Design concept and network reliability evaluation of ATM system

Abstract

This paper presents design concept, security analysis for customer satisfaction, performance ability, and software reliability of ATM system. Computerised telecommunication device as automated teller machines (ATMs) has altered the relationship between banks and their depositors, as well as the competitive relationships among banks. A simple ATM backbone network reliability model covering network connectivity and network performability has been presented based on reference architecture in a telecommunications network context. ATMs’ problems are related to design of ATM, safety and security, reliability, comfortable operability, expansibility, and polyfunctionality. The comfortable operability is related to the universal design. We address the network reliability with respect to connectivity and performability in an ATM communication network context. The connectivity aspect refers to the availability of a path from a source node to a destination node. This paper describes the reliable design considerations, security modifications, and reliability models for excellent network connectivity and performability of the ATM system. © 2011 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd.
