Consider a simple patient
monitoring system in which the software controller generates alarm signals when
the patient’s temperature or blood pressure falls outside safe ranges. The
alarm signals and safe ranges are different for temperature and blood pressure.
You may use the following
Website as a resource for short Z-specification examples:
·
http://staff.washington.edu/jon/z/z-examples.html
Write a four to five (4-5) page
paper in which you:
1.
Determine five (5) of the
controller’s monitored and controlled variables. Describe each variable and
explain how it is used in the system.
2.
Propose five (5) mode classes
and five (5) terms that may be helpful in monitoring this system.
3.
Propose three (3) Software Cost
Reduction (SRC) tables for this system. There must be one (1) mode transition
table, one (1) event table, and one (1) condition table.
4.
Create one (1) short
Z-specification for this system using Visio or an equivalent such as Dia.Note: The graphically depicted
solution is not included in the required page length.
5.
Use at least three (3) quality
resources in this assignment.Note: Wikipedia and similar
Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow
these formatting requirements:
·
Be typed, double spaced, using
Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations
and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your
professor for any additional instructions.
·
Include a cover page containing
the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the
course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not
included in the required assignment page length.
·
Include charts or diagrams
created in Visio or an equivalent such as Dia. The completed diagrams / charts
must be imported into the Word document before the paper is submitted.
The specific course learning
outcomes associated with this assignment are:
·
Develop systematic modeling
techniques that satisfy functional and nonfunctional requirements.
·
Use technology and information
resources to research issues in requirements engineering.
·
Write clearly and concisely
about topics related to Requirements Engineering using proper writing mechanics
and technical style conventions.
