Issues Descriptions

Description of Manage_Transmission_Sectors protocol is inconsistent

  • Key: OARIS21-4
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The description of the interface states that
    "It is the CMS's responsibility to initiate the determination of initial state by making a request for information to the subsystem."
    However, there is no operation defined to request information from the subsystem.
    (Note: the protocol was probably simplified in working towards the v1.0 submission without revising the overall description of this particular interface).

  • Summary:

    Method report_sim_mode_status does not contain the status of the session e.g. whether it is running, not started, frozen etc. The specification should also describe the overall state machine described by the interface.

Representation of Ambiguity in Passive Bearings

  • Key: OARIS21-11
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    Some passive sensors are unable to resolve a bearing around the line of symmetry through the sensor. The polar model for positions in the specifications does not allow this ambiguity to be clearly represented.

request_id for report_service_health on subsystem intiative

  • Key: OARIS21-16
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    For Service Health Reporting and Subsystem Health Reporting the specification describes two scenarios one on subsystem initiative and another on request.
    In both cases the subsystem calls a method on the CMS interface with a request_id. In the 'on subsystem initiative' case it is unclear what value the subsystem should use for the request_id. Any value chosen could potentially be misinterpreted as a value for an actual CMS request.

delete_sensor_track used as an interface and a method

  • Key: OARIS21-24
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    delete_sensor_track is used as an interface in the Tracking_Control service and as a method on the Provide_Sensor_Tracks interface. This is potentially confusing and in principle could cause name clashes.

Inconsistent state condition for Health Service

  • Key: OARIS21-21
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    (originally reported by Richard Smith - BAE Systems)

    (Proivde_Health_State, page 194, para above table 7.185) contains the following description:

    “Reason for health state
    Each reported health state other than AVAILABLE is accompanied by the reason(s) for that health. In this way the CMS may for instance derive that although the technical state of the subsystem is STANDBY (and NOT AVAILABLE for that reason), there are also faults that would prevent the service to become AVAILABLE when the technical state would be switched to ONLINE.”

    This appears perfectly reasonable to me, although it is then followed immediately by:
    “Pre-condition: Subsystem technical state The subsystem is in technical state ONLINE or READY.”

    This appears to imply, to me, that the report service health is only applicable to the ONLINE or READY technical state, even though the para above suggests it would be of use in the STANDBY state!

Heartbeat required as the basis for on_requested_deadline_missed for DDS PSM

  • Key: OARIS21-20
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The Exchange Heartbeat use case supports assurance cases relating to runtime software integrity, in particular that critical functionality continues to be available and has not failed silently.
    For the DDS PSM this is currently mapped to the built-in DDS API, but the on_requested_deadline_missed requires a suitable topic definition (which could/should be provided by the Exchange Heartbeat use case).

Initial Emission Control State Undefined in Control_Emissions protocol

  • Key: OARIS21-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE SYSTEMS ( Mr. Simon Mettrick)
  • Summary:

    The interaction diagrams for the Control_Emissions service do not provide a mechanism for determining the initial state of the emission control setting.
    Possibilities are that the CMS is expected to explicitly set this for all sensors as part of startup of each sensor (e.g. whilst they are in the READY state) or that each sensor has its own default (or persistent) state that it assumes on each startup.
    Further information: The description of the ONLINE technical state, requires Control Emissions to occur once the subsystem is in this state and implies that the emission control setting is off when the subsystem enters the ONLINE state.
    More information: The description of the Control_Emissions_CMS interface states: "It is the CMS's responsibility to initiate the determination of initial state by making a request for information to the subsystem." However there is no method on the subsystem interface to provide this information.
    The description of Control_Emissions_CMS interface should be updated accordingly.

service_health_type struct within Subsystem_Control IDL not in keeping with specification documentation.

  • Summary:

    Within Subsystem_Control.idl the struct service_health_type (line 327) has the member health_state (line 330) declared with type health_state_reason_type. The specification states it should be health_state_type. Believe this is an error?

contradiction on who (subsystem or CMS) should initiate the identification process and set the request id.

  • Key: OARIS21-7
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: BAE Systems ( Jia Liu)
  • Summary:

    The following is the description of request_id in oaris 2.0 spec:

    7.3.12.6 request_id_type
    Type: IDLTypeDef unsigned long long
    Package: Requests
    The purpose of the request_id is to uniquely relate responses of the subsystem (server) to requests of the CMS (client). The request_id is set by the client. It is the responsibility of the client to specify a system-wide unique request_id (e.g. based on a combination of client id and a sequence number / time of request). Here it indicates that CMS as client should specify request_id. But in section 7.7.5.3 Provide_Subsystem_Identification, it documents that it should be the subsystem to initiate the communication to CMS, which implies subsystem will need to specify request_id required in receive_sub_identification_data_type before sending it to CMS.
