Imminent New System Views

• SV-1a Interface Description. Shows interfaces (Resource Flows) between Systems, Services, and/or Person Types

• SV-1b Performer Configuration Diagram. Interface Description plus composition (whole-parts) of Resources involved. If Locations are involved in the configuration, relationships to Resources.

• SV-1c Functional Allocation. Activities (System Functions) performed by Systems, Services, and Person Types.

• SV-1d Organizational Resources. Shows Resources that are part of (whole-part) Organizations.

• SV-1e Organizational Dependencies. Shows Organizations whose Activities are reified by System Functions (Activities) performed by Performer Configurations.

All Views should show traceability to higher-order reifications, other views that constitute requirements, and/or other non-view requirements. [ASD 2012]

My note: NOT sure how SV-1d would differ from relations represent-able via OV-4.

Overspecialization Kills: Natural Evidence

Simple design is most commonly transcendental. All Ammonite arthropods are extinct, only a few Ceriatite varieties still exist, and no decline in Goniatites has been observed.

How to Map Information sets? Very Laboriously!

• Correlate Terms Complete matches—Equivalence—ideal; usually a low %

Partial matches common Names match, definition Semantics differ

Names differ, definition Semantics match or similar

Names & Semantics match, Relations to other terms differ

• Correlate Taxonomies? Mappings require selection of one (1) base set

Forces “baking” mappings in to an information set (!)

• Correlate Ontologies? – Possible only if Relation temporal Semantics match

• Mapping is imprecise (i.e., Earned Value?)
