Provides a macro viewpoint for entry into Architected Futures from the perspective of human beings and civilization. A "people" orientation.
ArchitectedFutures.net Community Page is still the most complete description for the community. It is based on a model described by Amy Jo Kim. The following entries are meant to tune the page to logged-on user preferred portal preference settings (e.g., news, context, setting). Knowledge concerns and priorities change based on contexts and roles. Priority 1 at 3PM can be priority "I don't care" from 11 PM until 7 AM, and a "Keep me posted" after than until 3 PM again. User manages context, role, attitude, etc, setting auto-adjust for what concern the assistance should have toward the situation. Alert rules change based on rules, as they change. Resolution is through architected processes for adjustment. [EATSv5 defines baseline for standard architected process.] Front-end systems see a lot of this as settings that may or may not allow adjustment, as per meta data settings.
Once management agreement to agree to a change in system processing policy, all models implemented by the system can be reset, one time, in a system identified sequence, and all models will be re-synchronized for continued computing where integrated activities were paused. While models are paused, all models affected by the change can be updated in an appropriate directed network operational modification transformation to the new model. After the new model has been generated, new instances of affected classes and types are generated for the metamodel. Current users of the affected type objects, identified by pub/sub status, have their classes flagged as deprecated. This condition triggers and automatic refresh of the class and the new description in activated for the existing, in play object.
Changes to core system axioms are implemented as an instantaneous logical processes and affect all in play activities. They are implemented as logical occurrences of an instantaneous shutdown/restart operation. They are the equivalent of a "changed my mind" being thrown into a system design. It used to turn right, but now it goes straight ... under that scenario. Situation and circumstances can change.
