Issues Descriptions

Additions for convenience methods

  • Key: CSRM-14
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    The following changes are proposed (note that there are some changes from the original proposal to make it more complete and correct):

    Changes to: 7.6.3 ExtRequirement
    1) add /validatedBy:ValidationActivity[0..*]
    Documentation: The query getValidatedBy() returns all the NamedElements that are suppliers ( "to" end) of a «Validation» relationship whose client is the element input parameter, ref.
    2) add getValidatedBy():ValidationActivity[0..*]
    documentation: The validatedBy is derived from all elements that are the client of a «validation» relationship for which this requirement is a supplier.
    specification: Validate.allInstances()->select(base_Abstraction.client=ref).base_Abstraction.supplier

    Changes to: 7.6.3 VerificationActivity
    add:
    verifies : AbstractRequirement[0..*] - The requirements that this VerificationActivity verifies.
    add to doc (was already part of profile):
    verificationMethod : VerificationMethodKind -The verificationMethod indicates the primary method that «VerificationActivity» uses to verify a Requirement.

    added

    getVerifies():AbstractRequirement[0..*]
    Specification: Verification.allInstances()->select(base_Abstraction.client=ref).base_Abstraction.supplier
    Documentation: The query getVerifies() returns all AbstractRequirement that are suppliers ( "to" end of the concrete syntax ) of a «Verifies» relationship whose client is the element input parameter, ref. This is a static query.

    Change to: Figure 7 SysML Extensions Profile
    Update diagram to reflect the addition of /validatedBy:ValidationActivity[0..*] element on the ExtRequirement Stereotype.

    Change to: Figure 5 Validation and Verification Profile
    Update diagram to show the addition of /verifies:AbstractRequirement[0..*] on the VerificationActivity stereotype.

  • Reported: CSRM 1.0b2 — Fri, 22 Apr 2022 20:31 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CSRM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add derived properties and methods to improve usability.

    Add elements and add a clarifying note to model and specification:

    Changes to ExtRequirement

    1) add /validatedBy:ValidationActivity[0..*]
    Documentation: The query getValidatedBy() returns all the NamedElements that are suppliers ( "to" end) of a «Validation» relationship whose client is the element input parameter, ref.
    2) add getValidatedBy():ValidationActivity[0..*]
    documentation: The validatedBy is derived from all elements that are the client of a «validation» relationship for which this requirement is a supplier.
    specification: Validate.allInstances()->select(base_Abstraction.client=ref).base_Abstraction.supplier

    Note about this change: First, this is intended to mirror the same pattern as SysML. Second, the verifies and verifiedBy already exists in abstractRequirement. Because Verifies is a kind of Verify, no change is required.

    Changes to VerificationActivity
    1) add /verifies:VerificationActivity[0..*]
    2) add getVerifies():VerificationActivity[0..*]
    Specification: Verification.allInstances()->select(base_Abstraction.client=ref).base_Abstraction.supplier
    Documentation: The query getVerifies() returns all the NamedElements that are suppliers ( "to" end of the concrete syntax ) of a «Verifies» relationship whose client is the element input parameter, ref. This is a static query.

    Change to: Figure 7 SysML Extensions Profile
    Update diagram to reflect the addition of /validatedBy:ValidationActivity[0..*] element on the ExtRequirement Stereotype.

    Change to: Figure 5 Validation and Verification Profile
    Update diagram to show the addition of /verifies:AbstractRequirement[0..*] on the VerificationActivity stereotype.

Add comments to 7.6.3 ExtRequirement source/Risk elements

  • Key: CSRM-31
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    We are missing the comments to source and risk of ExtRequirement. The elements also need to be printed in the specification. Other tag definitions are also not printed and thus need to be displayed.

  • Reported: CSRM 1.0a1 — Sat, 30 Apr 2022 21:53 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — CSRM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    *Add comments to 7.6.3 ExtRequirement *

    Add the following text to 7.6.3 after the Generalization section. To be clear, when complete with all changes we have for 7.6.3, paragraph should look like this:

    Description
    The «ExtRequirement» is a mix-in stereotype that contains generally useful attributes for requirements.
    Note: This stereotype should be used instead of the «extendedRequirement» in the SysML non-normative extension of SysML
    Generalization:
    • SysML::Requirements::Requirement
    Attributes
    • risk : RiskKind - Risk level of the requirement.
    • source : String - Source (originating person and/or organization) of the requirement.
    • /validatedBy : ValidationActivity[0..*] - The validatedBy is derived from all elements that are the client of a «validation» relationship for which this requirement is a supplier.
    Operations:
    • getValidatedBy - The query getValidatedBy() returns all the NamedElements that are suppliers ( "to" end) of a «Validation» relationship whose client is the element input parameter, ref.
    specification:
    Validate.allInstances()->select(base Abstraction.client=ref).base_Abstraction.supplier

MeasurementSpecification missing documentation

  • Key: CSRM-28
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    Need to add documentation of MeasurementSpecification.summary (paragraph 7.28) and fix MeasurementSpecification.id missing documentation.

    The summary element is missing documentation.
    The id incorrectly indicates that it is the id of a requirement, rather than a MeasurementSpecification.

  • Disposition: Resolved — CSRM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Add documentation to summary and fix documentation in summary

    Add/change documentation as follows to the model and to the specification:

    MeasurementSpecification.summary
    add documentation: The summary is a textual description of constraints, and measurement activities used to provide insight into the progress made in the definition and development of the technical solution, risks, and issues.

    MeasurementSpecification.id
    From: The unique id of the requirement.
    to: The id of the MeasurementSpecification.

Change 7.6 SysML Extentions

  • Key: CSRM-3
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    Section 7.6 to be replaced with an official SysML extensions profile. Section 1.6 was a hack that allowed the specification to move forward.

    Unfortunately replacing this section with a SysML profile may not be easy because of issues with how vendors have implemented the SysML extensions. It may be simpler to replicate all or part of the extensions.

  • Reported: CSRM 1.0b1 — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 21:51 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — CSRM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    No change to 7.6 SysML Extensions is required

    No change to 7.6 SysML Extensions is required.

    The creation of an official version of SysML Extensions seems unwise as all the vendors and lots of users would be affected. The current profile described in this section is adequate for our purposes.

    Note: We already voted on this, but having to recreate it because the result was lost.

Add relationship convenience attribute for Validated and other relationships

  • Key: CSRM-2
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    David Kaslow requested that derived properties be added to allow reporting.

    For example, a user of the profile should be able to add to a table a column that matches the Validated By or Validates concepts (and others) similar to how tables can display Verified By and Verifies.

  • Reported: CSRM 1.0b1 — Fri, 18 Mar 2022 21:38 GMT
  • Disposition: Duplicate or Merged — CSRM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Issue resolved in CSRM-14

    CSRM-2 was re-opened to change the priority (I did not realize this could be modified), CSRM-14 essentially duplicates the issue and was already resolved. Best thing to do is to close this issue as a duplicate of CSRM-14.

Modify Paragraph 2 to remove redundant reference to the machine readable file.

  • Key: CSRM-41
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    As the spec already has a reference to the machine-readable file, this line is redundant.

    This line in paragraph 2 should be removed:

    dtc/22-04-06 - CSRM Profile - XMI File (see the description in Section 6)

Change names from CubeSat to Satellite

  • Key: CSRM-11
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    The original issue is perhaps incorrect as I misunderstood the intent. The name changes were to additions to the spec. I am proposing to close with no change as only CubeSatRequirement actually exists and a SatelliteRequirement is there if desired by a user of the profile.

  • Reported: CSRM 1.0b2 — Thu, 21 Apr 2022 20:06 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — CSRM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Incorrectly submitted issue was against a future plan

    JD complained that the priority was incorrect. Changed priority to trivial.
    This was originally written up as a bug of initial submission, but it is actually against a proposed plan, not the current version. It is therefore immaterial to the changes of the FTF, so Closed: No Change.

Recommended Additions

  • Key: CSRM-12
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    To make the case for updating CSRM stereotypes. Once agreement is reached, updates to the CSRM Specification will be developed.
    This is a big deal and needs lots of discussion.

    Figures 1 lists CSRM element stereotypes. Black font denotes current baseline as captured in the normative CSRM Profile. Blue font denotes recommended additions.

    Figure 2 lists requirement elements related properties that are part of the SysML language.

    Figure 3 illustrates one of many ways to establish relationships between the mission stakeholders, requirements, technical measures, and use cases stereotypes. These stereotypes are denoted by italicized font in Figure 1.
    The relationships are captured in the element specifications and are displayed and maintained in diagrams and tables as shown in Figure 1.
    Object Constraint Language

    There has been discussion about codifying the allowable relationships using Object Constraint Language (OCL). OCL is a declarative language describing rules applying to Unified Modeling Language (UML) models. For example, a refine relationship can exist between a requirement. and any other model element, whereas a derive relationship can only exist between requirements.

    That could be done founded on the examples in Figure 3. This would be of limited benefit. A mission team will be using the stereotypes and relationships best suited to their mission and the stereotypes in Figure 3 are very limited as compared to Figure 1.

    A case could be made to established relationships for the stereotypes in Figure 1. But that is out-of-Scope for the SSWG CSRM effort.

    An Issue that Needs Resolution.

    The intent of defining addition stereotypes as shown in Figure 1 is to provide stereotypes for a variety of mission architectures. However, several of the stereotypes are identified as CubeSat stereotypes. But they are not unique to CubeSats. The only thing that makes a model a CubeSat model is the incorporation of a CubeSat form factor such as the Cal Poly CubeSat Design Specification.

    My recommendation is to rename the stereotypes as show in Table 1 below.

    Table 1. Renaming of Stereotypes (Proposed name changes from Figure 1)
    CubeSatRequirement SatelliteRequirement
    CubeSatSubsystemRequirement SatelliteSubsystemRequirement
    CubeSatComponentRequirement SatelliteComponentRequirement
    CubeSatUseCase SatelliteUseCase
    CubeSatSubsystemUseCase SatelliteSubsystemUseCase

Add constraints to aid in correctness of profile useage

  • Key: CSRM-4
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    Constraints should be added to aid in the creating of correct models. For example, an MoE needs to be related to a moeRequirement which in turn is refined by a moeSpecification.

    In addition, by categorization and content of warings and error of the constraints, we could add hints for new users of minimal and advanced concepts.

  • Disposition Summary:

    Defer adding constraints to RTF

    This is rather complex and our team does not have the resources to address. It is also better to address the constraints as people begin to use the profile and as RTF possibly expands the standard.

Create examples of use of the profile

  • Key: CSRM-5
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Dassault Systemes ( Mr. Daniel Brookshier)
  • Summary:

    Originally the first versions of CSRM had examples. However, when the spec was reduced to a profile, the examples were removed. Because of some of the changes, not all examples are viable, so it is proposed we create new examples. Dave Kaslow also requested that the examples be categorized as a simplified and expert use of the profile to aid adoption by students.
