A SvcV-3a enables a quick overview of all the system-to-service resource interactions specified in one or more SvcV-1 Services Context Description models. The SvcV-3a provides a tabular summary of the system and services interactions specified in the SvcV-1 Services Context Description for the Architectural Description. This model can be useful to support existing systems that are transitioning to provide services. The matrix format supports a rapid assessment of potential commonalities and redundancies (or, if fault-tolerance is desired, the lack of redundancies).
Usage
The intended usage of the SvcV-3a includes:
- Summarizing system and service resource interactions.
- Interface management.
- Comparing interoperability characteristics of solution options.
Product Description
The SvcV-1 concentrates on Service resources and their interactions, and these are summarized in a SvcV-3a or SvcV-3b.
The SvcV-3a is presented as a matrix, where the System and Services resources are listed in the rows and columns of the matrix, and each cell indicates an interaction between Systems and Services if one exists.
Creating a Systems-Service Matrix
To create a Systems-Service matrix:
- Click on Systems-Service Matrix in the Action Artifact area.
- This opens a chart with Systems (Resources) and Services (Resources) listed as rows and columns, respectively.
- Double click on a cell and select X to indicate an interaction between Systems and Services if one exists.
