Summary
The TRAK SVp-04 Solution Function architecture viewpoint defines the requirements for the TRAK SV-04 Solution Function architecture view. This involves allowed content and minimum acceptable content ('well-formedness' criteria). The TRAK00001. TRAK. Architecture Framework. Viewpoints specification also defines consistency rules that apply to a set of architecture views (an Architecture Description).
The TRAK SVp-04 Solution Function architecture viewpoint content is summarised under the following sections:
- stakeholder concerns
- description
- allowed content
- well-formedness criteria
- presentation methods
- comments
The TRAK Architecture Viewpoints specification provides are complete definition not only of the SVp-04 Solution Function architecture viewpoint but considerations for the architecture description formed from a set of architecture views.

Stakeholder Concerns
Stakeholder Concerns Addressed by the SVp-04 Solution Function Architecture Viewpoint
The TRAK SVp-04 Solution Function architecture viewpoint addresses the following concerns:
- Have all the solution functions been identified?
- What does each part do?
Description
Describes the functions of parts of the solution.
Allowed Content
TRAK architecture view content is defined in terms of triples - Node - connector - Node e.g. 'Job performs Function' that form short statements about the thing(s) being described.
'Job performs Function' is a Statement or Assertion in a SV-04 Architecture View
The rationale for this is explained separately.
Subject Statements (Triples)
These are statements (triples) that describe the subject of the SV-04 Solution Function architecture view. Specifically these statements address the concerns for this SVp-04 Solution Function architecture viewpoint. These form the basis for the well-formedness section of the SVp-04 Solution Function architecture viewpoint.
There are 10 possible subject statements in total which include 9 metamodel elements ( Concept Activity , Function , Job , Metric , Organisation , Physical , Role , Software and System ).
Return to the top of the Solution Function page.
- Function has part Function
- Function is quantified by Metric
- Function realises Concept Activity
- Job performs Function
- Metric has part Metric
- Organisation performs Function
- Physical performs Function
- Role performs Function
- Software performs Function
- System performs Function

Optional Statements (Triples)
These optional statements (triples) for the SV-04 Solution Function architecture view provide useful context with respect to a subject or universally allowed statements involving the subject or object (start or finish) elements in the Subject Statements (triples).
Universal statements may be added to any TRAK architecture view and describe typical concepts such as compliance or traceability:
- ... traces to Argument, Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard
- ... satisfies Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard
- Concern or Claim about ...
- Contract, Requirement, Document or Standard governs ...
'Claim about System' - an optional statement or assertion for the SV-04 Architecture View
These statements address the concerns of their respective architecture viewpoint and will have been created first on these other architecture views.
There are 120 possible statements which may be used to augment the SV-04 Solution Function architecture view, split into 6 groups:
- Context
- Universal - Applicable Requirements
- Universal - Assurance
- Universal - Concern Identified
- Universal - Requirement Compliance
- Universal - Traceability or Reference

Well-Formedness Criteria
Well-formedness criteria define the minimum acceptable view content based on the subject statements (triples). These criteria are not yet represented within the model of TRAK. Please refer to the SVp-04 Solution Function definition within the TRAK00001. TRAK. Architecture Framework. Viewpoints specification.
Presentation Methods
The SV-04 Solution Function architecture view may use any of following means to the statements (triples):
- Block diagram (Resource, Function = block, TRAK relationship = line with text label and direction indicator)
Note that a textual presentation is acceptable for any TRAK architecture view.
Comments
The SV-04 Solution Function architecture view is the master source (origin) on which you first create the following elements or statements:
- Function
- Function is quantified by Metric
If ordering of functions is a concern use the Solution Sequence View (defined by the SVp-07).
Neighbouring Architecture Views
The SV-04 Solution Function architecture view content may overlap that of the following neighbouring architecture views:
- CV-05 Concept Activity
- MV-01 Architecture Description Dictionary
- MV-02 Architecture Description Design Record
- MV-03 Requirements and Standards
- MV-04 Assurance
- SV-01 Solution Structure
- SV-02 Solution Resource Interaction
- SV-03 Solution Resource Interaction to Function Mapping
- SV-05 Solution Function to Concept Activity Mapping
- SV-06 Solution Competence
- SV-07 Solution Sequence
