6、to ITU-T Z-series Recommendations ITU-T Z.100-series SDL+ methodology: Use of ITU System Design Languages Summary This Supplement is published as a Supplement to the ITU-T Z.100 Series for ITU System Design Languages (that is, Recommendations ITU-T Z.100 to Z.107, Z.109, Z.110, Z.120, Z.121, Z.150,
7、Z.151 and Z.160 to Z.170). This Supplement 1 to the ITU-T Z.100 series of Recommendations outlines a methodology (called SDL+) for the use of these languages in combination, in particular where the ITU Specification and Description Language is used. This Supplement covers the following topics: 1) te
8、rminology definitions and background material on the use and application of the ITU Specification and Description Language and related ITU System Design Languages; 2) an overview of the methodology (clause 4); 3) more detailed descriptions of: a) analysis of the requirements (clause 5) b) draft desi
9、gn and investigation of the application (clause 6) c) formalization of the application into a model of how an application behaves (clause 7) d) implementation issues (clause 8) e) validation (clause 9). 4) relationship with other languages and techniques; 5) an elaboration of the methodology for ser
10、vice specification. This Supplement is not exhaustive. The intention is that users of SDL+ incorporate it in their overall methodologies, and tailor it for their application systems and specific needs. In particular, this Supplement does not cover the issues of derivation of an implementation from t
11、he specification, or the testing of systems in detail. In the case of testing, it is expected that this will be covered by a methodology dealing with the generation of tests for standards or products based on SDL+. The methodology is a framework to be elaborated for the context of actual use. This S
12、upplement has two parts. In Part I the framework is explained as an overview in clause 4, and with a more detailed description of the main parts in clauses 5, 6 and 7. The general framework is then specialized for the case of services specification in Part II, starting at clause 12. The parts from c
13、lauses 5, 6 and 7 are elaborated in clauses 13, 14 and 15. In this specialization some choices of approach have been made. Many of the details given in clauses 13, 14 and 15 can be used when the general framework is elaborated for other contexts and other choices. History Edition Recommendation Appr

The ITU Telecommunication Standar
16、dization Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), whic
17、h meets every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within IT
18、U-Ts purview, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC.

32、ended for those persons responsible for methodology in areas where the Recommendation ITU-T Z.100-series are used. The objective of this Supplement is to provide a methodology for the effective use of the ITU-T Z.100-series Language Recommendations: the Specification and Description Language (SDL-20
33、10) b-ITU-T Z.100, b-ITU-T Z.101, b-ITU-T Z.102, b-ITU-T Z.103, b-ITU-T Z.104, b-ITU-T Z.105, b-ITU-T Z.106, b-ITU-T Z.107; and the Message Sequence Chart notation b-ITU-T Z.120. The application of this methodology should lead to a well-defined specification of the target application in SDL-2010 com
34、bined optionally with ASN.1 b-ITU-T X.680, b-ITU-T X.681, b-ITU-T X.682 and b-ITU-T X.683 and Message Sequence Chart notation b-ITU-T Z.120. When b-ITU-T Z.105 is used, SDL-2010 is used to define behaviour and ASN.1 is used to define data. It is also possible to use SDL-2010 to define data as in b-I
35、TU-T Z.104. This Supplement covers the use of SDL-2010 without ASN.1 as well as combined with ASN.1 as in b-ITU-T Z.105. Message Sequence Chart diagrams are used to describe sequences of events and normally do not cover every possibility. Message Sequence Chart diagrams are used to describe what hap
36、pens for particular sequences of stimuli, whereas SDL-2010 defines how an application system behaves towards all stimuli for every possible status. Message Sequence Chart diagrams without SDL-2010 would not usually give a full description of system behaviour. In the methodology described in this Sup
37、plement, SDL-2010 would not normally be used without Message Sequence Chart diagrams. The Supplement does not describe a general methodology for the use of the Message Sequence Chart notation either alone or with languages other than SDL-2010 (with or without ASN.1). Since the methodology assumes th
38、e use of SDL-2010 with ASN.1 and Message Sequence Chart notation, the term “SDL+“ is used throughout the Supplement to mean “SDL-2010 with ASN.1 and Message Sequence Chart notation“. It is recognized that there are many ways of using SDL+, depending on the users preference, on the target application
39、, on the in-house rules of the organization, etc. The methodology in this Supplement is therefore incomplete and will need to be elaborated to produce the actual methodology for a particular context. This Supplement is to provide assistance to users of SDL+ and to promote unified usage and tool supp
40、ort of the language. 2 Definitions This Supplement defines the following terms: 2.1 activity: A specific procedure in an engineering process, supported by one or several methods. 2.2 agent: An object that models how an entity behaves in the environment and application system. 2.3 actor: A person (or
41、 organization) in the environment of a system that has one or more roles of interaction with a system. In the context of this Supplement, an actor that interacts with the activities in the engineering system is called an engineer. 2 Z series Supplement 1 (04/2015) 2.4 analysis: The stepwise activity
42、 for exploring collected requirements, organizing the information they contain, and recording this information in a format that reflects this organization (see clause 5). 2.5 application concept: A concept pertaining to a given application domain and the system that is being specified. 2.6 applicati
43、on domain: The field of activity in which the application system under specification will operate. 2.7 application system: (abbreviated to system where the qualifying term can be derived from context) the complex set (of parts) that is used to provide functionality and other characteristics. In the
44、context of this Supplement there is usually no distinction between a system specification, a system description and a real system instance. 2.8 ASN.1: Abstract Syntax Notation One b-ITU-T X.680, b-ITU-T X.681, b-ITU-T X.682 and b-ITU-T X.683. 2.9 association: A dependency relationship between two or
45、 more classes (or two or more objects) in the Unified Modeling Language (see clause 13.2 and b-OMG UML), and shown as an annotated line between class (or object) symbols. 2.10 behaviour: Sequence of actions with stimulus and response aspects performed by a system that may change its state. 2.11 clas
46、s: A description of the model of the system defining a set of objects that have similar properties (same structure and same behaviour). A class represents an application concept. 2.12 classified information: A model with the collected requirements structured and defined according to concepts that ha
47、ve been named and defined. 2.13 collected requirements: A set of requirements for the application collected as a result of the requirements collection activity. 2.14 computational view: A view of a system and its environment that focuses on decomposition of the system to allow for distribution (see
48、“computational“ viewpoint in b-ITU-T X.903, clause 4.1). 2.15 design view: A view of a system and its environment that focuses on the functions required to support that system (see “engineering“ viewpoint in in b-ITU-T X.903, clause 4.1). 2.16 draft design: The stepwise activity for engineering part
49、ial or partly informal specifications from different points of view and at different levels of detail to investigate engineering design choices (see clause 6). 2.17 draft designs: Outline designs for the system under consideration using one or more models that describe the system partially. 2.18 documentation: The activity for selecting, cataloguing and storing the information about a product. 2.19 enterprise view: A view of a system and its enviro
