These diagrams differ from those described above in that an instance diagram depicts one or more occurrences or instances of meta-entities and meta-relations

3、hips depicted in the diagrams previously described. Where one of the diagrams previously described Structure of Subject Area Definition Copyright Government Electronics all names indented below a given name are subtypes of that meta-object. For example, if Car and Truck are both subtypes of Vehicle,

4、 this would be shown as follows: Vehicle CU Truck A meta-entity or meta-relationship and all its subtypes can be duplicated in the hierarchy due to multiple inheritance. Where this occurrs, the duplicate entries are shown in italics. The overall AttributableMetaObject supbrtype, Rootobject, defined

Where a page break occurs in the list, all the supertypes of the first meta-entity or meta- relationship on the new page are repeated for clarity with a shaded background. 3.2.5 MetaEntity and

6、MetaRelationship Summaries Summaries are given of all the meta-entities and meta-relationships used in the Subject Area. The meta-entity definitions are given first, in alphabetical order, followed by the meta-relationship definitions, also in alphabetical order. For each meta-entity used in the sub

The local meta-attributes are then listed alphabetically in normal font. The optionality, whether mandatory or opti

10、of Subject Area Definition Copyright Government Electronics a state at a certain level of abstraction may be refined into a number of lower-level states, transitions, attributes, events and conditions. The higher-level transitions and attributes are bound to the interface the lower level state machi

11、ne exposes. If a structured state is entered, at least one of its substates is also entered. For the case where the structured state contains sequentially executing substates, the first (or next if the sequence was interrupted) substate is entered. For the case of concurrently executing substates, a

12、ll substates are entered. For the case of alternate substates, exactly one substate is entered. When a structured state is active, it is not possible that none of its substates is active. 4.1.4 Transitions Transitions represent potential traces of state changes between states. At any instant of time

13、, a transition may or may not be taken in a state/event model. Transitions can be triggered by the occurrence of an event, such as when a condition becomes true or a set time occurs. For a transition to occur, the system, entity or object must be in a state from which the transition can be taken. As

14、 a result of a transition being taken, an action may be performed. This subject area does not support the concept of decomposing transitions. It does, however, support the concept of splitting and merging transitions. 4.1.5 Action An action is a procedure that may be performed as a result of an even

15、t occurring, such as a condition becoming true, or a transition being taken. Actions usually act on Attributes. For example, the procedure “assign 5 to Attribute X” could be an Action. Actions may be elemental (primitive) or structured. This subject area includes a number of primitive actions, such

16、as assigment actions. Structured actions contain other actions which may be performed in sequence, in parallel, or as alternates. 4.1.6 Events and Conditions At any point in time, a certain event may or may not occur. For example, at any point in time, the event “temperature is crossing the O degree

17、 mark” may happen. On the contrary, conditions represent boolean values which persist over time. For example, “temperature is higher than O degrees” would be a condition. Both concepts are supported in this subject area. Also, the concept of a buffered event is supported. A buffered event is an even

18、t whose occurrence is stored until it can be processed. For example, in a telecommunication system, the event “customer pressed the 1 key” may be stored.

20、objects, and the reuse of definitions, is provided by a general structuring mechanism. This mechanism is also used in other CDIF subject areas. In this subject area the following concepts may be structured: States, Actions, Attributes, Events and Conditions. Structuring of those concepts is performe

21、d using the general structuring mechanism because their definitions may be used by several objects in different contexts. 4.1.7.2 Meta-entities and Meta-relationships The general structuring mechanism makes use of the following meta-entities: o ComponentObject O DeJinitionObject o ReferencedElement

A subtype of

Instances of the subtypes of ComponentObject are used to describe the structure of a DefinitionObject. There may be any number of ComponentObjects per Definition

The allowed components, in addition to ReferencedEZement and EquivaZenceSet, for a given DeJinitionObject are shown in Table 5. For example, a State ma

34、e 1996 Page 20 I I U I State De?i%on contiains, o Q&f The general structuring mechanism ensures that, for example, the instances of the components of one State are different from those of another State even if both States share the same StateDejnition. This applies equally for all DejnitionObjects.

35、It can also be used to speci, using the EquivaZenceSet meta-entity, that two components in different reuse situations are actually the same instance (see 4.1.1 1 Identical Instances in Shared Definitions). 4.1.8 State Decomposition and Definition States are represented using the meta-entity States t

36、hat is a subtype of ComponentObject. States definitions are represented using meta-entity StateDefinition, a subtype of Definitionobject. Figure 8 shows an example of a state decomposition. State P decomposes into Q, R and S. R and S share the same decomposition into T and U. The general structuring

37、 mechanism requires that each process refers to a process definition. States cannot contain States or any other ComponentObject directly, the StateDejnition contains the ComponentObjects. Sharing definitions does not imply anything about the instances. For example, the States Tin the decomposition o

38、f R shares only its structure with S, not its data or state. State I - R bermirion T 1 Figure 8 A states decomposition For the definition of leaf states (i.e., states which are not decomposed into other states) an instance of the meta-entity StateDejnition is used which does not contain any States,

40、 Subject Area CDIF-DRAFT-STEV-VO7, June 1996 Page 21 4.1.9 Action Decomposition and Definition Analogous to the structuring of states, Actions are also structured using the general structuring mechanism. An ActionDeJinition represents the potential structure of a Action. An Action may be a structure

41、d Action containing other Actions as members or completely unstructured. Figure 9 shows an example for a structured Action where Actionfl andf2 share the same structured ActionDefinition. This ActionDefinition indicates that bothfl andf2 each contain an Action x, an Action y and a Action z. Each Act

46、 a shared Definitionobject needs to be referenced, a simple reference is not sufficient because definitions can be shared and it would be not clear whose structured objects component is meant if its definition is reused. Instead, the full path to the ComponentObject, traversing the loop Componentobj

47、ect, Component0 bject. Re ferences. Definition0 bject, Definitionobject, Definitionobject. Contains. ComponentObject, is needed to uniquely identify a specific instance. This path is formed by the associative meta-entity ReferencedEZement and the meta-relationship ReferencedElement.DefinesPath.Compo

48、nent0bject. The ReferencedElement is the Componentobject which refers to the specific Componentobject contained in a shared Definitionobject. The meta-relationship ReferencedElement.DejnesPath. Componentobject carries a meta-attribute SequenceNumber which describes the sequence in which the path is

49、traversed. An example of this is shown in Figure 10 for the case of an assigment action. Figure 1 1 shows the corresponding instance diagram. In this example, there are two instances of the x component action, one in Action a (called ax), and one in Action b (called b.x). in order to refer to the x component of a (as opposed to the x component of b) a ReferencedEZement is created which identifies the complete path consisting of a and x, using instances of the
