ConceptDocumentation
System Of InterestAn abstract element representing a SOI. Base class for specific kinds of SOIs.
Logical Context SOIRepresents the Logical SOI in the System Context on Logical Level.
System StateDescribes a state (or mode) of something that can have distinct states.
USAGEallocatedToSpecifies the fact that a Usage of Function is allocated to a Usage of System Element.
General Functional UsageSpecifies a General Usage of a General Function within one or more other General Functions.
Logical ElementDescribes a conceptual Logical Element as specification for an implementation of a system, or system element.
Logical Element RoleSpecifies the fact that a logical element comprises logical elements.
LETbeeingInSSESpecifies the System States a Logical Element can be in.
GFNcontrolledAFTERSpecifies a sequential execution of Functions.
General FunctionSpecifies a General Function. It is used as base Class for specific System or Context Functions, or Partial Functions.
LETimplementingGFNSpecifies the fact that a Logical Element is responsible to implement a System Function. Note: Logical Elements don't "implement" anything, they pass the function implementation task to Physical Elements.
