Study Notes

Message Formats in SSD

  • Messages in SSD consist of a message name followed by parameters (in parentheses)
  • Names begin with a lowercase letter
  • No spaces in names; use uppercase letters to separate words
  • Names in parameters are separated by commas
  • Empty parentheses () are used if no parameters

Outgoing Messages (System Outputs)

  • System outputs are responses to complete an event
  • Messages from the system to another system require action and a reply
  • Every output is derived from input and stored data

Message Notation for SSD

  • [true/false condition] return-value := message-name (parameter-list)
  • * indicates repeating or looping messages
  • [] indicates a true/false condition (only tests the message)
  • Message name is verb-noun describing a service
  • Parameter list (in/without parentheses) shows data passed with the message
  • Return value (like :) describes data returned to the original sender
