Published by Atlantis Press But these ahievements mainly fous on the onepts and theory frame laking more refined models to support and ombination with operation reality Therefore in the following parts information requirement elements are defined requirement mapping rules are analyzed and requirement models are built aording to arhiteture modeling theory and method Finally aerial assault phase of aerial offensive ampaign (AOC) is taken as an example to validate the method s rationality and feasibility ⅡOPERATIOAL IFORMATIO REQUIREMET ELEMETS AD MAPPIG RULE As basi follow of sientifi requirement analysis arhiteture is an organi whole onsisting of units relationships and prinipia restriting evolution [5] information requirement arhiteture is omposed by information requirement elements and mapping rules requirement elements inlude operational phases ativities nods and information mapping rules inlude nod nod mapping nod ativity mapping ativity nod mapping and ativity ativity mapping A Element Operation implementation proess has typial networked mathemati struture harateristi in the bakground of network operations Therefore omplex network theory an be used to define the information requirement elements Definition 1: information is defined as the refletion of battlefield obets harateristi state and hange et during operation proess It an be divided into intelligene support information () operational ommand information () and weapon ontrol information () aording to information types Supposing that there are I0 kinds of operational information and the information an be divided into X0 levels in term of differene of operation view partile size Then operational information set an be noted as I Iiw i [1 X 0 ] [1 I 0 ] and the w is value of operation view partile size Definition 2: nod is defined as the substantiality produing gaining distributing and disposing operational information during operation proess It an be divided into intelligene support nods ommand & ontrol nods and fire striking nods aording to nod funtion Supposing that there are 0 kinds of operational nods and the nods an be divided into J0 levels in term of differene of operation view partile size Then operational nod set an be noted as in i [1 J 0 ] [1 0 ] and the n is value of operation view partile size Definition 3: ativity is defined as the set of ordered ations for operational nods to aomplish ertain speifi mission 166

2 Supposing that there are A 0 kinds of ativities and the ativities an be divided into H 0 levels in term of differene of operation view partile a A A i[1 H ] [1 A ] and size Then ativity set an be noted as i 0 0 the a is value of operation view partile size Definition 4: phase is defined as the set of ordered ations for operational nods to realize different operation purposes Supposing that there are S 0 kinds of operation phases and the phase set an be noted as S S i [1 S ] To any phase S i there always is Si Ak 1 Ak 2 Ak i and k [1 H0] [1 A0] B Rule 0 mapping rules are basi priniples of related mappings among information requirement elements during requirement analysis proess [6] Rule 1: nod requirement mapping is the mapping among operational nods It determines the information alternated between different nods The speifi rules are as follows: (1) Supposing the value of operation view partile size is (2) Selet operational information I the produing and onsuming nods are mp and m separately (3) Protrat information requirement line from mp to m orrespond it with I and (4) Aomplish the nod nod requirement mapping and note it as I i m p m Rule 2: Ativity ativity requirement mapping is the mapping from operational nods to ativities It determines the ativities nods partiipating in The speifi rules are as follows: (1) Supposing the value of operation view partile size is (2) Selet operational nod are Ah l Ah 2 Ah n set ativities it partiipating in respetively whih an be expressed uniformly by A h and noted as Ah Ah l Ah 2 Ah n (3) Connet with all the elements in A h orrespondingly (4) Aomplish the nod ativity requirement mapping of and note it as Ah l Ah m Ah n Rule 3: Ativity Ativity nod requirement mapping is the mapping from operational ativities to nods It determines nods pointed by movable frame mehanism arrows in operational ativity IDEF0 diagrams (a strutured analysis and design tehnology expressed by graphial language) and points out the nods involved in ertain ativities [7] The speifi rules are as follows: (1) Supposing the value of operation view partile size is (2) Selet operational ativity A nods springing it are t1 t2 t n respetively whih an be expressed uniformly by set tr and noted as t r t1 t2 t n (3) As the same priniple the ontrol nods set an be noted as tz and the output nods set is t (4) Put tr as input nods set of A IDEF0 diagram movable frame t and tz as ontrol and output nods set separately (5) Aomplish the ativity nod requirement mapping of A and note it as Ai t r t z t Rule 4: Ativity Ativity Ativity ativity requirement mapping is the mapping among operational ativities It determines the points of ativity IDEF0 diagram movable frame arrows and larifies operational information alternated among ativities [7 8] The speifi rules are as follows: (1) Supposing the value of operation view partile size is (2) Selet operational information I the produing and onsuming ativities are A np and A n separately (3) Put I as A np IDEF0 diagram movable frame output arrow s data restrition and I as input arrow (or ontrol arrow) s (4) Aomplish the ativity ativity requirement mapping and note it as A I i A n p n Ⅲ
