Method overview. When describing a past event using the formal model, the event is broken down by looking at individual impacted systems separately, which is seen in Figure 3.4. The three main steps of the method can also be seen in Figure 3.4 and consists of: Step 1 – Identify impacted systems, Step 2 – Describe Dependency Impacts and Step 3 – Describe System Impacts. Steps 2 and 3 are both about characterisation of impacts. The general purpose of the description is to enable the subsequent assessment of general patterns that can be of interest especially for incident management (as this is the context of the CascEff project). The choice of characteristics has been highly influenced by previous research on dependencies and cascading effects (x.x. XxXxxxxxx et al., 2007; Xxxxxxx et al., 2001; Xxxxxx et al., 2009; Xxxxxxxxx and Xxxxxxxx, 2006; Xxxxxx-Xxxxxx and Xxxxxxxxx, 2012); see Chapter 2 for additional details). In addition, the choice of characteristics has also been based on communication with other CascEff partners to get their view on which characteristics that can be of relevance for the project. Each step of the method is described in detail in Sections 3.3.6-3.3.8. Note that steps 1-3 are typically performed using an iterative approach rather than a linear one. This means that when an impacted system has been identified (Step 1) this is followed by describing Dependency and System Impacts for this system before returning to Step 1 and identifying additional impacted systems. 3.3.6 Step 1 Identify impacted systems‌ 3.3.1 for an explanation of why this is done. In order to identify an impacted system, an explicit statement of an effect or a potential effect needs to be made in the written material. One example of a statement referring to an impacted system is that “the loss of power and communications led to missed orders and enquiries [for business and industry]” as was the case in the UK floods in 2007 (Pitt review, 2008). Furthermore, an explicit statement about the existence of a dependency between two systems, but where this dependency has not caused an impact from an originating system to a dependent system, would also be included as an impacted system here. Typically, such dependencies are only mentioned in the written accounts when it was close to having caused an impact, i.e. a “near miss”, but did not due to the presence of some favourable conditions. When having identified an impacted system it is categorised in one of the system categories presented in...

Method overview. Figure 6 depicts the analysis-aided architecture evaluation and design method (hereafter called ADM), which is based on ATAM. The process of moving from requirement scenarios to design decisions is based on the following notions: • Prioritized High-Level Scenarios: A subset of high-level scenario is selected from requirements analysis models. They help to define dependent and independent non-functional parameters. • Analysis Reasoning Frameworks: One framework is defined for each kind of analysis method (e.g., schedulability analysis, performance analysis, reliability analysis). They consist of UML profiles (e.g. XXXXX) and rules to annotate analysis models. Analysis reasoning frameworks also includes rules to make design decisions grouped into analytical advices.
