The different parts of the model can be most easily accessed via the different tabs in the menu to the left. The
following paragraphs will provide short descriptions on the contents of each tab.
Introduction
The introduction tab contains material of general and introductory nature. Here you will find an introduction to the
TIMMO-2-USE methodolgy, and an account for its relation with the TIMMO and EAST-ADL methodologies. You can also find an
introduction to TADL guides and tool mentors as well as this browsing guide.
Use cases
The use case tab provides detailed descriptions of the use cases as they are implemented in the methodology. These
descriptions are found by clicking on the use case name in the menu to the left. When expanding the menu tree (click on
the + to the left of the use case name), the different method patterns implementing the use case are presented. Each
method pattern is described by a process. You may navigate through these processes by clicking on the various items in
the diagrams. On the top-level, you find a more detailed description of the method pattern under the Description tab
above the diagram. The description may reveal important information like the overall ideas and assumptions behind the
pattern.
Tasks
The tasks tab presents the use cases with the focus on the tasks that are performed in each pattern realising the
use case. Also this tab provides the possibility to reach the corresponding method patterns.
Many timing-related tasks moreover contain a link to tool mentors and guidelines that describe how to apply a certain
tool or algorithm to successfully perform the task.
Work products
The work products tab lists the different work products that are used in each of the use cases. In the description
of each work product, you can see in which tasks it is used and produced. Timing related work products will also
contain a link to a TADL guide, which in turns describes how to apply TADL to express the work product's intended
contents.
TADL guides
The tab TADL guides lists all guides that exist. It thus provides an excellent overview of different situations where
TADL can be applied and how it can be applied in those situations.
Mentors
The tab mentors lists all tool mentors and guidelines that describe algorithms and methods for efficiently performing
the tasks. It thus provides an excellent overview of the algorithms and tools that exist in the context of the
described use cases.
Glossary
The glossary tab provides a list of different terms that are used throughout the methodolgy. By clicking on a term, you
can read the definition of the term in the context of this methodology.
