FunctionModeling

The function modeling is performed in the FunctionalAnalysisArchitecture (in the AnalysisLevel) and the FunctionalDesignArchitecture (in the DesignLevel). The root component of the function compositional hierarchy on AnalysisLevel is the FunctionalAnalysisArchitecture (FAA); the root component of the function compositional hierarchy on DesignLevel is the FunctionalDesignArchitecture (FDA), see the diagram for SystemModeling. <br/><br/>The main modeling concept applied here is functional component modeling: Functions interact with one another via ports that are connected by connectors owned by the composing function. Occurrences of functions are modeled by typed prototypes in the composing function. These occurrences are typed by types. This naming convention of the type-prototype pattern is from AUTOSAR, however the concept of types and typed elements is also available in e.g. UML2.<br/>
