Abstract

The paper presents a good practice in choosing optimal software - hardware infrastructure couple engaged with acquiring and processing of data related to computer security anthropic incidents. The authors work in the Multi-Attribute Decision Making paradigm, mono-decision maker and mono-state of nature sub-paradigm. An assessment model is built. The model’s objects are the software – hardware couples. Concerning the first couple’s component, i.e. the software infrastructure, the selection process is done starting with Data Base Management Systems' complex taxonomy. Concerning hardware infrastructure, the choice of elements is based on considered availabilities. The model’s attributes are couples’ characteristics evaluated by an expert which gives grades according to his / her expertise. Based on this model, the TOPSIS method computes the merit of each couple. The couple with the greatest merit is considered as optimal.
