Method and apparatus for managing system specifications

摘要

The invention includes a method and apparatus for managing a system specification. The method includes identifying a first system specification defined at a first refinement level where the first system specification includes specification data, generating a second system specification at a second refinement level where the second system specification inherits the specification data of the first system specification, modifying the inherited specification data of the second system specification, and storing the second system specification including the modified specification data.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
using a processor for:
identifying a first system specification defined at a first refinement level, wherein the first system specification comprises specification data;
generating a second system specification at a second refinement level, wherein the second system specification inherits the specification data of the first system specification;modifying at least a portion of the inherited specification data of the second system specification, wherein modifying at least a portion of the inherited specification data comprises applying a mapping operator to a portion of the specification data of the first system specification of the first refinement level to provide modified specification data for the second system specification of the second refinement level; andstoring the second system specification including the modified specification data.
