### 2. Common

#### 2.1 Package

The Package element is the root element in the file. It has PackagableElement as a Child element and groups PackagableElements in arbitrary units.

syntax:
```shell
Package [ID] {
  description: [String]
  [PackagableElement]
}
```

| Syntax element            | Description  |
| :---                      |    :----     |
| description:	0..1        | Description  |
| [PackagableElement]	*   | Child element Package,Display,Size,Constraint,PostConstraint,Scene,Event,Rule,Area,AreaSet,ViewContent,ViewContentSet|

Description example:
```shell
Package SamplePackage {
	description: "This is a sample Packege"
	Area SampleArea {
		arbitrationPolicy: DEFAULT
		sizeReference: SampleSize1
		visibility: NONE_VALUE
		zorder: 3
	}
	ViewContent SampleContent {
		allocatable: [SampleArea1]
		State NORMAL {
			priority: STANDARD_VALUE
		}
	}
}
```

#### 2.2 Size

Size is the size of Area and ViewContent.

Syntax:

```shell
Size [ID] {
  description: [String]
  width: [Number]
  height: [Number]
}
```

| Syntax element            | Description  |

  version: [String]
}
```

| Syntax element            | Description  |
| :---                      |    :----     |
|version:	1|	Version of the Project|

Description example:
```shell
Project {
	version: "version 1.0"
}
```


### 3. Area

Area is a frame to display the ViewContent on the screen. Only one ViewContent is allocated to one Area at most. Since Arbitration is executed for each Area, the Arbitration Policy is defined.

Syntax:

```shell
Area [ID] {
  description: [String]
  arbitrationPolicy: [DEFAULT | FIRST_COME_FIRST | LAST_COME_FIRST | PRIORITY_FIRST_COME_FIRST | PRIORITY_LAST_COME_FIRST]
  [[Size]| sizeReference:[ID of Size]]
  [visibility|priority]:[Number|Expression]
  zorder:[Number|Expression]
}
```

| Syntax element |	Description |
| :---                      |    :----     |
| description:	0..1 | Description |
| arbitrationPolicy: 0..1 | Arbitration Policy for Area. Refer to "Types of Arbitration Policy" for the policies which can be specified. If not specified, consider it as "DEFAULT".
| [Size\|sizeReference:]	1..* | Size: Size definition.|
|| sizeReference: Reference to Size definition.|
|| ※One or more definitions of either Size or sizeReference are needed. Multiple definitions should be defined consecutively.|
| [visibility\|priority]:	1	| Value of Area. Describe the relative value for other Areas as an expression or set a numerical value.|
|| The following predefined value can be set as a String. NONE_VALUE, STANDARD_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE See " Value / Z order definition" for details. |

||NONE_VALUE, STANDARD_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE See " Value / Z order definition" for details. |



Types of Arbitration Policy

| Arbitration Policy           | Description  |
| :---                      |    :----     |
| DEFAULT | Same as Priority and First Come First Arbitration. If the Arbitration Policy is not specified, it will be this type.|
| FIRST_COME_FIRST | First Come First Arbitration. Give priority to the request which occurred first. |
| LAST_COME_FIRST | Last Come First Arbitration. Give priority to the request which occurred later. |
| PRIORITY_FIRST_COME_FIRST | Priority and First Come First Arbitration. It follows the priority set to the Content. If the priority is the same, give priority to the request which occurred first. |
| PRIORITY_LAST_COME_FIRST | Priority and Last Come First Arbitration. It follows the priority set to the Content. If the priority is the same, give priority to the request which occurred later.|

Description example:
```shell

	visibility: NONE_VALUE
	zorder: 3
}
```

### 4. Value / Z order definition

Values (visibility or priority) of area is the order of arbitrating of the area. The higher is arbitrated first. You can describe only one of the visibility or priority.
For the Z order (zorder), the higher one will be on the front of the screen. You can define values absolutely by number or define relatively to other areas by expressions. You can use comparison operators (> and <), equality operator (=) and That-of operator for the expressions.

- Description example of value :
Visibility of SampleArea2 is 10, zorder is 5.
```shell
Area SampleArea2 {
	visibility: 10
	zorder: 5
}
```
- Description example of comparison operator:
Priority of SampleArea1 is greater than SampleArea2. Zorder of SampleArea1 is less than SampleArea3.
```shell
Area SampleArea1 {
	priority: > That-of SampleArea1
	zorder: < That-of SampleArea3
}
```
- Description example of range:
Visibility of SampleArea1 is greater than 1 and less than SampleArea2. Zorder of SampleArea1 is greater than SampleArea3 and less than SampleArea4.

	zorder: (> That-of SampleArea3 AND < That-of SampleArea4)
}
```

- Description example of equality operator:
```shell
Area SampleArea1 {
	visibility: = That-of SampleArea2
	zorder: = That-of SampleArea3 + That-of SampleArea2
}
```

- Equality operator can be omitted.

||sizeReference: Reference to Size definition.|
||※One or more definitions of either Size or sizeReference are needed. Multiple definitions should be defined consecutively.|
|loserType:	0..1| Action on lost. Specify whether to cancel a request, if ViewContent is not displayed after arbitration. See "Types of Action on lost" for details. If not defined, consider it as "NEVER_GIVEUP".|

Types of Action on lost

|loserType |	Description|

|GOOD_LOSER	|When losing arbitration, cancel a request.|
|DO_NOT_GIVEUP_UNTIL_WIN |When the state is changed visible to invisible , cancel a request.|
|NEVER_GIVEUP|Keep a request.|

Description example:
```shell
ViewContent Power {
description: " Warning from power management"
  allocatable: [
    MessageArea, HUDMessageArea
  ]
  State Warning {
    priority: > That-of Power.Attention
  }
  State Attention {

||The following predefined value can be set as a String.NONE_VALUE, STANDARD_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE See "Priority definition"for details. |

Description example:
```shell
State Warning {
  description: "Display warning message"
priority: > That-of Attention
}
State Attention {
  description: " Display attention message "
priority: > That-of TEL.Incoming
}
```
### 6. Priority definition

Define the priority of Content to the State under ViewContent or SoundContent (hereinafter, Content). The priority is used when the area / zone arbitration policy is "Priority and First Come First Arbitration" or "Priority and Last Come First Arbitration", the higher one is allocated first. Values can be defined absolutely by number or relative to other areas by expressions. You can describe only one of the visibility or priority. You can use comparison operators (> and <), equality operator (=) and That-of operator for the expressions.

- Description example of value:
Priority of Warning is 10.
```shell
State Warning {
  description: " Display warning message "
priority: 10
}
```
- Description example of comparison operator:
Value of Warning is greater than Attention.
<br>Value of Attention is greater than State Incoming of TEL of other Content.
<br>Value of Notice is less than Attention.
<br>※When referring to the State of another Content, refer to the Content ID and State ID by connecting with “.”.
```shell
State Warning {
  value: > That-of Attention
}

State Attention {
  value: > That-of TEL.Incoming
}

State Notice {
  value: < That-of Attention
}
```

- Description example of range: Priority of Attention is greater than Incoming of TEL and less than Warning.

```shell
State Attention {
  priority: = That-of TEL.Incoming
}
```
- Equality operator can be omitted.
```shell
State Attention {
  priority: That-of TEL.Incoming
}
```

#### 8.1 Constraint

Constraint describes constraint expressions. There are two types of constraint expressions Runtime constraints and Offline constraints. A Runtime constraint is a constraint expression that should be be true at the time of arbitration and controls the behavior of arbitration. An Offline constraint is a constraint expression that should be satisfied after arbitration and tests the arbitration result.

Syntax:
```shell
Constraint [ID] {
  description: [String]
  runtime: [true|false]
  [expression]
}
```

|Syntax element		|Description|
| :---              |    :----     |
|description: 	0..1|	Description|
|runtime: 	1	|true: Runtime constraint|
||Arbitrate each Area / Zone to be true this constraint.|
||false: Offline constraint|
||Verify that this constraint is true after all Area arbitration.|
|[expression]	1|	Constraint expression|

Description example

- AND/ OR/ Negation
<br>In the constraint expression, it is possible to express logical AND, logical OR, negation, which is a general logical operator, with AND, OR, and !. By using () you can also use in combination.

Example: Content1 is displayed or Content2 and Content3 are not displayed at the same time.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint1 {
runtime: true
Content1.isVisible() OR !(Content2.isVisible() AND Content3.isVisible())
}
```
Example: SampleContent1 is displayed or SampleContent2 is not displayed.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint1 {
	description: "Sample Constraint Expression"
	runtime: true
	SampleContent1.isVisible() OR !SampleContent2.isVisible()
}
```

- Implication

Implications are false only if the left-hand side is true and the right-hand side is false, otherwise it is true.

Example: SampleContent4 is displayed if there is a request of SampleContent4.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint3 {
	runtime: true
	SampleContent4.isActive() -> SampleContent4.isVisible()
}
```

Example: If SampleArea1 displays SampleContent3, SampleArea2 does not display SampleContent3.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint2 {
	runtime: true
	(SampleArea1.displayingContent() == SampleContent3)
-> !(SampleArea2.displayingContent() == SampleContent3)
}
```

Example: If the value of the content displayed on SampleArea1 is higher than the value of the content displayed in SampleArea2, hide SampleArea2.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint2 {
	runtime: true
	(SampleArea1.contentValue() > SampleArea2.contentValue())
-> SampleArea2.isHidden())
}
```

Example: If the value of property1 of the information received from other RBAModel (Project) is 1, Content10 is not displayed.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
  (SampleScene1.isOn() AND SampleScene1.property1.get() = 1)
    -> ! Content10.isVisible()
}
```

- For-All

For-All targets a set, and it is true if all element of the set satisfies a lambda expression ({element name declaration | element condition}).
For the set, you can specify a defined set or an One-time set. (Refer to “Group definition” for more informations.)
<br>Example: If SampleContent1 is displayed, all Areas of AreaGroup1 is not displayed.
<br> It is assumed that "AreaGroup1" is defined as AreaSet.

```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
	runtime: true
	SampleContent1.isVisible() ->
For-All AreaGroup1 { x | x.isHidden() }
}
```

- Exists

Exists targets a set, and it is true if even one element of the set satisfies a Lambda expression ({element name declaration | element condition}).
<br>For the set, you can specify a defined set or an One-time set. (Refer to “Group definition” for more informations.)
<br>Example: If any Content of ContentGroup1 is displayed, all Areas of AreaGroup1 is not displayed.
<br> It is assumed that "ContentGroup1" is defined as ContentSet.
<br> It is assumed that "AreaGroup1" is defined as AreaSet.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
	runtime: true
	Exists ContentGroup1{ x | x.isVisible() } ->
For-All AreaGroup1 { x | x.isHidden() }
}
```

- IF-THEN-ELSE
Example: If the scene is SampleScene1, SampleContent4 is displayed, otherwise SampleContent4 is not displayed.

```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint4 {
	runtime: true
	IF(SampleScene1.isOn())
	THEN
		SampleContent4.isVisible()
	ELSE
		!SampleContent4.isVisible()
}
```

- (pre)
Example: If SampleContent 1 is displayed (before arbitration), SampleContent 2 is not displayed.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
	runtime: true
(pre)SampleContent1.isVisible() -> !SampleContent2.isVisible()
}
```

- HasComeEarlierThan/HasComeLaterThan
Example: If request SampleContent 1 has come earlier then SampleContent 2, SampleContent 2 does not displayed.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
	runtime: true
SampleContent1.hasComeEarlierThan(SampleContent2) -> !SampleContent2.isVisible()
}
```
Below constraint behave as same as above.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
	runtime: true
SampleContent2.hasComeLaterThan(SampleContent1) -> !SampleContent2.isVisible()
}
```

### 9. Group definition

#### 9.1 AreaSet

When dealing with multiple Areas in the Constraint expression, in order to describe it simply, you can define multiple Areas together in one group.

Syntax:
```shell
AreaSet [ID] {
  description: [String]
  target: [ [ID of Area] ]
}
```

|Syntax element	|	Description|
| :---             |    :----     |
|description: |	0..1	Description|
|target:	0..*	| Areas or AreaSets which compose the group. Specify the ID of the Area or the AreaSet with comma-separated.|

Description example:
```shell
AreaSet MainScreen {
	description: "Area constituting the main screen"
	target: [SampleArea, SampleArea1, OtherAreaSet]
}
```
#### 9.2 ViewContentSet

When dealing with multiple ViewContents in the Constraint expression, in order to describe it simply, you can define multiple ViewContents together in one group.

Syntax:
```shell
ViewContentSet [ID] {
  description: [String]
  allocatable: [ [ID of Area] ]
  target: [ [ID of ViewContent] ]
}
```

|Syntax element	|	Description|
| :---             |    :----     |
|description: |	0..1	Description|
|allocatable:	0..*|	Displayable Areas or AreaSets.Specify the ID of the Areas or the AreaSets with comma-separated.|
|target:	0..*|	ViewContents or ViewContentSets which compose the group. Specify the ID of the ViewContents or ViewContentSets with comma-separated.|

Description example:
```shell
ViewContentSet InterruptContent{
  allocatable: [
    MessageArea, HUDMessageArea, InterruptAreaGroup
  ]
  target: [
    TEL,Power, ViewContentGroup
  ]
}
```

#### 9.3 One-time Set

Specify an set in the For-All or the Exists constraint, you can define the One-time set.

Syntax:
```shell
{ [ID] }
```

|Syntax element	|	Description|
| :---             |    :----     |
|[ID]	1..*	|Element of the set. Specify the IDs of elements with comma-separated.
||The type of elements should be same.|
||At this time, Area and AreaSet regard it as the same type.( ViewContent and ViewContentSet are treat similarly.)

- Description example: Define the One-time set as AreaSet.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
	runtime: true
	SampleContent1.isVisible() ->
For-All {Area1, Area2, Area3} { x | x.isHidden() }
}
```

- Description example: Define the One-time set as ViewContentSet.
```shell
Constraint SampleConstraint {
	runtime: true
	Exists {ViewContent1, ViewContentSet1} { x | x.isActive() -> x.isVisible() }
}
```
### 10. Scene definition
#### 10.1 Scene
Scene comprehensively expresses the state at the time including the system, and it is used to switch the status of Area/Zone, View/Sound Content by Scene. You can also define the Global scene and share the results of arbitration among multiple RBA Models (Projects).

Syntax:
```shell
Scene [ID] {
  description: [String]
  global: [true|false]
  [Property]
}
```

|Syntax element	|	Description|
| :---             |    :----     |
|description: 	0..1|	Description|
|global: 	0..1|	true: Global Scene for sharing arbitration results with other RBA Models (Projects).|
||false: Local Scene.|
||If not defined, consider it as "false".|
|[Property]	0..*|	Information for sharing arbitration results with other RBA models (Projects).|
||Can define only if global is true.|

Description example:
```shell
Scene AutoDrivingScene {
  description: "In auto driving mode"
}

Scene DisplayEventNotification {
  global: true
  int OverallPriority: 6
  int RiskSeverity: 3
  int RiskMargin: 1
}
```
#### 10.2 Property

Property is arbitrary properties which is defined in the Scene.

Syntax:
```shell
int [String]: [Number]
```

|Syntax element	|	Description|
| :---             |    :----     |
|[String]	1	|Arbitrary Property name|
|[Number]	1	|Default value of Property. Positive integer can be specified.|

Description example:
```shell
int RiskSeverity: 3
```

### 11. Stereotype

Syntax:
```shell
StereoType<[Target Model Name]> [ID] ([valiable]) @BEGIN@
description: [String]
    [Propaties of Element]
@END@
```

|Syntax element	|	Description|
| :---              |    :----     |
|description: 	0..1|	Description|
|[Target Model Name]	1|	Identify the applicable model by describing the model element keywords|
||It can be applied to the Area, ViewContent models|
|[valiable]	0..*|	Describe an arbitrary variable as the parameter to be replaced, which will be set in the property of the model element specified in [Target Model Name].If there are multiple variables, separate them with commas.|
|[Properties of Element]	1..*|	Describe the properties of the model element specified in [Target Model Name].In the property, the value to be replaced is written in @{[variable]} .|
||The variables must match the variables described in ().|

Description example:
```shell
Stereotype<ViewContent> display_warnning (name,allocatable,priority) @BEGIN@
    description: “@{name}”
    allocatable: [@{allocatable}]
    Size WarnSize {
        width: 300
        height: 100
    }
    State NORMAL { piority: @{priority} }

@END@
```

### 12. Tag

Syntax:
```shell
<<[Stereotype ID]>> | <<[Stereotype ID]>>{[String]}
```

|Syntax element	|	Description|
| :---              |    :----     |
|[ID of Stereotype]	0..*|	Can be assigned to Area, ViewContent|
||If StereoType is defined, then the child elements and attributes defined there will be expanded as child elements and attributes of this object|
||Multiple definitions can be made for a single model. To define more than one, define them consecutively.|
|[String]	0..*	|Argument value|
||If there is no argument, it can be omitted|

Description example:
```shell
ViewContent Warning_1 {
    <<display_warning>>{ “Warning_01”,”Area1”,“1” }
}

ViewContent Warning_2 {
    <<display_warning>>{ “Warning_02”,”Area2”,”2” }
}

Stereotype<ViewContent> display_warnning (name,allocatable,priority) @BEGIN@
    description: “@{name}”
    allocatable: [@{allocatable}]
    Size WarnSize {
        width: 300
        height: 100
    }
    State NORMAL { piority: @{priority} }
@END@
```
