Resilience-oriented specifications

The specification document would include a definition or the operational scenarios and situations, and of the expected combinations of them, defining the design scope. In this example, the operational scenarios are the Primary operational modes, and the situations are the steering modes.

Guideline  Guidelines for rule definition

Guideline  Guidelines for rule specification

Primary operational modes

The specifications should include the following mode set for the Primary operational modes: {Navigation, Maintenance}

Steering modes

The specifications should include the following mode set for the steering modes: {Manual, Automatic, Disconnected}

Problematic combinations

The combination steering Disconnected mode in Navigation mode may be classified as either:

  Demonstration in the guide ...

According to this classification, the operational rules should be either constraining or alerting.

Specification of the constraining option

The specification is about what should be acceptable. In the example, the acceptable combinations are the combinations

Guideline  Guidelines for constraining

Specification of the alerting option

The requirements should also specify the exceptional combinations. In this example, the only exceptional combination is of the Navigation mode with the Disconnected mode.
