Creating SV-10b System Function State Transition (DM2) and System State Transition (DM2) diagrams
The SV-10b is one of three models used to describe system functionality. It identifies responses of systems to events. There are two diagram types.
There are two diagram types:
SV-10b System Function State Transition (DM2)
Use to model System Function and System Data Flow from the SV-04b. Here is a sample:
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
This diagram has a Services view equivalent, named SvcV-10b Service Functions State Transition Description (DM2).
SV-10b System State Transition (DM2)
Use to model SV-04b information and SV-01 information.
This graphic is described in the surrounding text.
This diagram has a Services view equivalent, named SvcV-10b Services State Transition Description (DM2).
Procedure
1 Click File > New Diagram.
2 In the Select New Type for All dialog, select the SV-10b System Function State Transition (DM2) or the SV-10b System State Transition (DM2).
3 Type the name of the diagram, and then click OK.
4 In the new diagram, set the diagram properties and add symbols as needed.
Diagram properties
Description
A description of the diagram.
Peers
SV-10b diagrams that are peers of the current diagram. On the SV-10b System Function State Transition (DM2) the peers can be other SV-10b System Function State Transition diagrams. On the SV-10b System State Transition (DM2) diagram, the peers are other SV-10b System State Transition (DM2) diagrams.
Architecture Type
As Is, To Be, or Transitional.
Related Architectural Description
This description is the related Architectural Description definition (from the AV-01 diagram).
Symbols for SV-10b System Function State Transition (DM2) diagrams
You can add the following symbols to the SV-10b System Function State Transition (DM2) diagrams:
System Function
A function that is done by a system. The function commonly refers to the automation of activities, data transformation, or information exchanges in IT systems. However, it also refers to the delivery of military capabilities.
System Data Flow
Data that is passed between System Functions.
The diagram auto-generates the System Data Flows between System Functions based on the SV-04b. Adding or deleting lines on this diagram affects the SV-04b. You can hide relationship lines by right-clicking in the diagram white space and selecting Hide/Show State Transition (SV-10b DM2rx) Relationship Lines. The hidden lines reappear each time the diagram is opened.
Symbols for SV-10b System State Transition (DM2) diagrams
You can add the following symbols to the SV-10b System State Transition (DM2) diagrams:
System
A functionally, physically, and (or) behaviorally related group of regularly interacting or interdependent elements.
Interface
Interfaces in and between equipment, subsystems, systems, an SoS, or other technology driven aspects of an enterprise.
Performer
Things that do activities such as service performers, systems, personnel, and organizations.
Organization
A specific real-world assemblage of people and other resources organized for an ongoing purpose.
Person
A type of performer, usually acting in a Role.
System Resource Flow
Elements being exchanged between systems and the attributes of that exchange; a simplified representation of a pathway or network pattern.
Resource Flow
The interaction between Activities and Performers. Activities are temporal and they results in the flow, or exchange, of objects such as information, data, materiel, and Performers.
Note The diagram auto-generates the System Resource Flows and Resource Flows based on the SV-01 and SV-02. Adding or deleting lines on this diagram impacts the SV-01 and SV-02. You can hide relationships lines by right-clicking in the diagram white space and selecting Hide/Show State Transition (SV-10b DM2rx) Relationship Lines.
