Understanding Behavior

It is important to consider the importance of behavior when it comes to objects which are dynamic. Describing a behavior can become notoriously difficult with respect to OOAD. Physics will borrow numerous concepts from mathematics, such as differential equations in order to describe entities which change, as well as gases, fluids, or things of this nature.

The ways in which the entities behave within the domains are important, but they will often be incapable of offering satisfaction for differential equations. Even something relatively basic such as the piston engine bypasses the formalism which is common with many differential equations.

Description languages that make use of algorithms are also unavailable at the analysis level. The strength for these languages is based on the way in which the specific behavior can be understood.

However, this is not what you are really looking for when it comes to analysis. What is most important is the ability to offer an accurate definition for the thing which brings about a desirable behavior within the system.

For example, with the basic prototypical system, you would want to take the time to offer a description for the interacting sequences. In other words, the descriptions for the procedural behavior will need to be traded for the descriptions which are declarative.

The one challenge that you will inevitably run into is that the description languages which are declarative may still have some theoretical issues that must be worked out. In fact, this is one of the primary problems that you will encounter not only in the representation of knowledge, but artificial intelligence as well.

It is critical to be capable of being able to characterize the transitions. In the past, many thought that analysis was a lot easier than artificial intelligence. Many applications have little to no need for planning, for the execution planning which is needed for robots.

One thing which is sufficient is the OOA notations, which are responsible for bringing about communication among humans. In addition to this, it is not necessary for the notations to be sloppy. It is important to make use of design notations transfers which are smooth, as well as easy, which must make use of the rigor which is associated with the executability of the machine. Because you sometimes deal with artificial worlds that are closed, additional simplifications must be offered.

How to Characterize the Transitions

Once you have brought about simplification within an artificial world, you will have a number of simplifications which are available to you. You will be capable of figuring out whether or not your concepts exist within the scope for the system, or a collection of systems.

In real world, many concepts have a vapor which is highly crisp. Because current technology has not produced a descriptive language which is 100% declarative, this means that many of the analysis methods that are being used today make use of representations which are a bit procedural.

The structured methods make use of the data flow diagrams, and the node within these diagrams will be used to symbolize a process, and may be decomposed in a recursive manner, since functions may be further broken down into operations.

OOA Methods and Characteristics

The OOA methods will typically make use of a transition network which is heavily augmented. It will be used for the purpose of showcasing the ways in which objects behave.

The transition networks are highly declarative, and this is especially true when it comes to states, as well as transition guards.

In addition to this, the transition actions may be defined in a manner which is rigorous. The transition networks must be thought of as the diagrams which are state machine, which are augmented in a number of different ways.

The firing for the transition may be dependent on the state for this object, as well as the reception of the event or additional auxiliary guards. Operations which have a complexity which is unbounded may be described for every transition.
