Software (UPDM - NAF aliases)
Creation
To create a Software:
• From an Architectural Description or Service Description: right-click the Architectural Description or Service Description, point to New, point to NAF, point to System, and then click Software.
• From a Software: right-click the Software, point to New, point to NAF, and then click Software.
You can convert a Software to a Resource Artifact: right click the Software, point to Convert To, and then click Resource Artifact.
Appearance
When shown on an NSV-1 Resource Specification, NSV-4 Functionality Hierarchy, NSV-5 Function to Operational Activity/Service Function Definition or NSV-9 Technology and Skills Forecast Definition, a Software appears as follows:
When shown on an NSV-1 Resource Interaction Specification or NSV-2 System Communications Description, a Software appears as follows:
Relationships
The following relationships are of importance to a Software:
• UML Generalizations define Software inheritance ( NSV-1 Resource Specification).
• Forecast relationships link a Software to forecasted future Software elements.
• Implements relationships link a Software to the Node elements it implements.
• Is Capable Of Performing relationships to link a Software to the Function elements that can be performed by the Software.
• Used as a type for Resource Port and Resource Role and elements.
• Used as a conveyed classifier for Operational Exchange elements.
The following sections provide information about how a Software is used in the model.
