Short Description

In the context of SmILES, is a description of an embedded control system (or an aspect thereof) which, together with the inherent physical properties of the system itself, defines the behaviour of the control system and its response to dynamic input. Control functions can be seen as a further detailing, or more formal description, of the mechanisms governing the behaviour of individual actors in a use case. Control functions may take the form of mathematical functions, such as e.g. transfer functions or descriptions of a stochastic process, or they may be best described by an algorithm. These different forms require different description options. As a result, some of the sections of the document are optional because their content does not apply to all descriptions. This is indicated at the beginning of each section. Optional sections should be left blank, rather than being deleted entirely, in order to preserve the consistency of section numbers. Sections marked as mandatory must be filled in every case.
