AW: useDM structure-behaviour relationship

Dear Heiko,

I am not sure if I have correctly understood your question, but in useDM we
use Events and an ID-Reference notation to interlink parts of the structure
and the behavior. So for example, if you want to call a certain function in
the behavior part, you use the Interaction Object event-attributes (e.g.
"onTriggered") and pass them the ID to the transition(including the
function) that should be called. Here is an example:

<dialog id="AssemblyModule" title="Assembly Module">
  <structure>
  <container  id=„pcbMagazine" title="Magazine - PCB"
presentation-type="group"> 
    <trigger id=“pcbEject" title="Eject PCB" presentation-type="command"
onTriggered="ejectPCB“ />
  </container>
 <container id="navigationbar" title=„Navigation"
presentation-type="navigationbar">
    <trigger id="homeDialog" title="Home Dialog"
onTriggered="go_home_assembly“ presentation-type="home-dialog" />
…
  </container>
 …
  </structure>
<behavior>
  <transition id=„ejectPCB">
    <call function-name=„ejectpcb"/>
  </transition>
  <transition id="go_home_assembly">
    <relative-target type="home-dialog"/>
  </transition>
 …
</behavior>
</dialog>

The same applies for a change of the structure elements/attributes from the
behavior. In this case, the unique Interaction object IDs are used in the
behavior to apply changes.
Both concepts represent the relationship between the structure and behavior
section of useDM.

Does this answer your question?

Best
Marc

Dear Heiko,

I would like to pass this question to Marc Seissler (in cc). He has
developed useDM in his PhD thesis on the basis on DISL.

@Marc:
Could you please answer to Heiko and the group directly? Thanks.

Best regards
Gerrit

I think this is a question for Gerrit, but it relates to the recent
behaviour model discussions:

You probably have seen the recent producer/consumer ideas to express
relationships between structure and behaviour. I was looking at the useDM
papers and was wondering if useDM actually expresses a relation between the
structure and the behaviour somehow. For instance, how does a "navigation"
refer to the target interaction unit. Or how would a "trigger" that leads to
a function call express  this relation?
