Use Case UC_102

This page describes one of the use cases of the EODiSP. An overview of the use case concept as it is used in the EODiSP project and of all the use cases defined for the project is provided in a dedicated page which also describes the conventions that are used to define the use case.

Overview

Identifier UC_102
Name Set-up Simulation Manager Application
Primary Actor Simulation Owner
Level User Goal
Description Describes the steps required to get a running, fully functional simulation manager application. After this, simulation experiments can be configured and run.
Pre-Condition The simulation manager application must be installed on the system.
Post-Condition (1) The simulation manager application runs. (2) The EODiSP network infrastructure is initialised. (3) The simulation manager application is ready to be configured.

Main Success Scenario

  1. Actor starts the simulation manager application. How it can be started depends on the platform and the chosen download option
  2. System shows the GUI of the simulation manager application to the actor.
  3. Actor opens the preferences dialog.
  4. System shows the preferences dialog
  5. Actor provides the configuration parameters needed for the simulation manager. Required are the settings for the network and those for identification.
  6. Actor chooses to save the settings and leave the dialog.
  7. System saves the settings
  8. Actor chooses to initialise the EODiSP network.
  9. System initialises the network infrastructure with the parameters provided in the settings.
  10. System displays to the actor whether the simulation manager application has already been registered in the global simulation manager repository.
  11. Actor chooses to register, deregister, or update the simulation manager application in the global simulation manager repository.

Alternative Flows

Actor chooses not to register the simulation manager application in the global simulation manager repository. System is running and fully functional. No network connection to the repository available. System displays error and aborts operation. Actor chooses to register simulation manager application. System connects to the EODiSP simulation manager repository. Simulation manager application is already registered in the global repository. System displays information. System aborts operation. System transfers information about the simulation manager application to the repository to uniquely identify it. System connects to the EODiSP simulation manager repository. Actor chooses to deregister simulation manager application. System connects to the EODiSP simulation manager repository. Simulation manager application is not registered in the global repository. System displays information. System aborts operation. System instructs global repository to deregister the simulation manager application. Actor chooses to Update simulation manager application. System connects to the EODiSP simulation manager repository. Simulation manager application is not registered in the global repository. System instructs global repository to register the simulation manager application. System instructs global repository to update registration for the simulation manager application.
