The purpose of the task Transform time budget influencing properties
from lower abstraction levels is to reuse information that has already been derived for the parts of the solution that
has already been developed bottom-up at a lower abstraction level. The lower-level properties cannot directly be copied to
the current abstraction level, since the solution structure looks different and has less detail. The events on the lower
abstraction level therefore have to be mapped to events on the current abstraction level. Once this is done, the delay
constraint itself can be copied and contain the same information as it did on the lower abstraction level, with the
difference that it is associated with the current-level events. |
