Development of Architecture and Caching System for Improving the Performance of Fuel Management System

Fuel Management System (FMS) is about managing and accounting for fuel. While implementing FMS in Sudan, some problems are noted, like system delay, inaccuracy and unavailability of the system. These problems and others make fueling companies and customers unsatisfied with the FMS. This paper aims to solve the noted problems by introducing enhanced system architecture and integrating a Caching System in the FMS architecture to enhance the performance, reduce system delay and increase the availability of the system. After architecture was developed, simulation programs were implemented to simulate the interactions required to re-fuel and to provide statistics results that help in evaluating the proposed FMS. The results of simulation programs were presented as the average service time, number of customers in system, number of customers in queue, idle probability and other results. The average service time was reduced and all results obtained emphasize the effectiveness of the proposed solution.
