Title: attribute “GRM Example Fig10.21”

Summary:

[GRM: Examples] Fig 10.21 shows a composite diagram, which is not conform to UML: parts are shown with attribute and operation compartments. This should be revised.

Resolution:

Instead of using as an example a composite structure, it will be used a class diagram. There are no implications in the text, so the only change is in the diagram shown in Figure 10.21. The diagram is changed by the next one:

The usage of the stereotype <> in this diagram is simplified to the minimum to avoid cluttering the picture.

Revised Text:

1. 
   Modify Fig.10.21 by the one above.

Summary:

[HRM: Examples] Figure 14-78, 14-82, 14-83, 14-84 specify tagged values with a syntax that does not correspond to VSL (e.g., 166MHz, 64 MB). It should be clarified the syntax used, or align to VSL.

Resolution:

Figures 14-78, 14-82, 14-83 and 14-84 are modified in order to be consistent with VSL syntax, and with the syntax which has been allowed in the resolution of issue 11781.

Revised Text:

Figure 14-78 is modified as follow:

Figure 14-82 is modified as follow:

Figure 14-83 is modified as follow:

Figure 14-84 is modified as follow:

Summary:

The references (publications) along the text in gqam should be moved to Annex G. (This is also true for chapter pam)

Resolution:

Replace each reference by suitable words which name the authors of documents, and insert the references in Annex G.

Revised Text:

Revisions are given both for gqam and pam.

1. Add to Annex G these references, inserted alphabetically by first author:

Davide Lamanna, Wolfgang Emmerich, "Precise Service Level Agreements", Proc 26th International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE'04), pp. 179-188). They point out the value of analysis of the execution path of the software.

original text: BehaviorScenarios in similar forms are widely used for timing analysis. In schedulability analysis they are called "task sequences" (Jane Liu, "Real Time Systems", Wiley), and specifications of timing normally refer to certain scenarios. Performance models are also created from scenarios (C.U. Smith and L. Williams, "Performance Solutions", Addison- Wesley 2000)....

original text: The QN model ignores the performance impact of the process thread pool sizes. To represent this we require an extended queueing network or layered network, that models the simultaneous possession of two resources (threads and processor). (S. Lavenberg, "Performance Modeling Handbook, Academic Press, 1983).
