  1. Problem Frames 8 - Variant frames

  2. Variants • Model • Operator • Description • Connection • Control

  3. Operator • Commanded Behavior is the operator variant of Controlled Behavior Control machine CM!C1 C3 Control Domain Required Behavior C CD!C2 CM!C1 Control Domain C3 CD!C2 C Control machine Commanded Behavior Operator RM!E2 E4 B

  4. Commanded Information Real World RW!C1 C2 C Answering machine AM!E3 Commanded Information Display Y4 C Operator E5 Op!E5 B

  5. Commanded Workpiece? Work Pieces WM!E1 Y4 WP!Y2 X Weird machine US!E3 Commanded Behavior E3 User B Operator E5 Op!E5 B

  6. Concern of operator variant • Reject commands that are not sensible or not viable • Carry out commands that are sensible and viable

  7. Description variant • Model variant makes a lexical domain that describes part of a domain • Description variant makes a lexical domain that describes part of the requirement • Description domain is a set of rules that machine will interpret • A virtual machine!

  8. Regulated One Way Lights Light Units RC! {Rpule(I),Gpulse(I)} LU! {Go(I),Stop(I)} C Regulated Controller Conformity to regime LU! {Go(I),Stop(I)} Encoded regime ER!{Char} ER!{Phase,Duration}

  9. Device Failure Detection Patient Constraints Failure Detector Analog devices ICU Patients C C Report AD failure Failure Report C

  10. Description Concern • Must design description • Requirements defines how to interpret description • How does machine get new description? • Often there is another machine that edits it

  11. Connection variants • Connection domain is between the machine and the domain that the requirements are about (the remote domain) • New domains • Changes specification of machine • Does not change requirements

  12. Library controller Members and candidates Membership rules c Membership rules Library controller Library staff Members and candidates

  13. Payroll forms c a C Requirements for payroll Payroll System Output d b C

  14. Connection concerns • Loss of information • Errors

  15. Control variants • For each shared event, • Which domain controls type? • Which domain controls time? • Which domain controls who participates? • Reading a file • Machine controls time and participants • Workpiece controls the value (type of event)

  16. Control variant Usage analyzer a Logfiles a: UA! {OpenLF, ReadLF} LF! {LogRecord(Read)} Usage analyzer a ISP Software a: IS! {ISPOpen,ISPClose,ISPWrite}

  17. Conclusions • Most variants add a domain • Variants have their own concerns

  18. Particular Concerns Problem Frames: Ch. 9

  19. Concerns • Questions to ask • Crucial in understanding the problem • Frame concerns • Variant concerns • Particular concerns

  20. Particular Concerns Concerns about a particular problem, not about a particular problem frame. • Overrun • Initialization • Reliability • Identities • Completeness

  21. Overrun • A domain’s ability or inability to respond to each externally controlled event before the next event occurs. • Occurs when there is a mismatch of speeds at a domain interface. • Machine too fast • Machine too slow

  22. Strategies for slow machines • Simple inhibition - the machine inhibits the shared events whenever it is not ready • Ignoring - the machine ignores shared events whenever it is not ready • Buffering - the machine buffers shared events whenever it is not ready, and participates later

  23. Initialization • Machine has initial state • Problem has initial state • only start machine when domain is in proper state • machine sets state of the domain • machine learns state of the domain • Model has initial state

  24. Reliability • What happens when domain violates its description? • Importance depends on • Likelihood of failure • Cost of failure

  25. Reliability Separate problem of normal operation from problem of reliability • Detection • Diagnosis • Repair

  26. Identities • Identities concern is when the machine has an interface of shared phenomena with a set of individuals that • are not connected into any structure that identifies them and • do not identify themselves.

  27. Identities • Add a structure that identifies individuals • Model • must be initialized • must be maintained

  28. Completeness Does the machine do everything it is supposed to? • Does a finite-state machine define what happens for every possible event? • Does the description cover a large enough span?

  29. Increasing Description Scope • Widen participation • X can do Y • What else can it do? • Can anything else do Y? • Complementary events • For each event, can the opposite event happen?

  30. Particular Concerns • Probably more • A way to discover questions to ask • Knowledge of experts
