TABLE OF CONTENTS This chapter discusses the mapping of traditional artifacts and concepts to areas of MOSES described in previous chapters, as well as providing a summary of the unification represented in MOSES.
Several of the mappings in this chapter refer back to views in Figure 6.1. To make the connection easier, we duplicate that figure here as Figure 12.1. The previous chapters in this book did not say much about the mapping of traditional artifacts to the external/internal model structure. When they have mentioned the relationship, it is along the lines of the mapping given here.
In the context of the models shown in Figure 12.1, the obvious mappings include:
A Concept of Operations (CONOPS) document associated with a system S1 maps to an internal model of the interactions of S1 with the elements of its environment. This is view V4 in Figure 12.1.
A requirements document of S1 maps to an external model of S1, either as a context-general model or as a context-specific model, both of which are indicated as V1 in Figure 12.1. In many cases, the requirements document defines the context-general model, and the context-specific model is defined as part of the CONOPS.
An architecture description of S1 maps to an internal model of S1, indicated as V3 in Figure 12.1.
The requirements of subsystems such as S12 in Figure 12.1, indicated as V2, can be described analogously to the requirements of system S1. For example,...
