Node (UPDM - NAF aliases)

Creation

To create a Node:

• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to NAF, point to Operational, and then click Node.

• From a Node or Security Domain: right-click the Node or Security Domain, point to New, point to NAF, and then click Node

• From an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition, NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy or NSV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition: click the

Node toolbar button, and then click in free space on the diagram.

Appearance

When shown on an NOV-2 Operational Node Definition, NOV-5 Operational Activity Hierarchy or NSV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition, a Node appears as follows:

When shown on a Node owned NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description, a Node appears as follows:

To show the owning Node on an NOV-2 Operational Node Relationship Description diagram: right-click the background of the diagram, point to Populate, and then click Owner.

Relationships

The following relationships are of importance to a Node:

• UML Generalizations define Node inheritance.

• Exhibits relationships link a Node to exhibiting Capability elements.

• Implements relationships link the following elements to an implementing Node: Capability Configuration, Organization, Physical Architecture, Post, Resource Artifact, Responsibility, Software and Service Access elements.

• Is Capable Of Performing relationships link a Node to Operational Activity and Standard Operational Activity elements that the Node can perform.

• Trustline relationships link a Node to trusting and trusted Node and Security Domain elements.

• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.

The following sections provide information about how a Node is used in the model.
