12.6 Logical Architecture Provides the Basis for Implementation Profiles

Go to Top

Implementation profiles use the Logical Architecture / PIM as their source for technology mapping.

For example, a later implementation profile may map:

• Logical Communication Endpoint to a DDS Topic
• Logical Data Structure Definition to an IDL structure
• Logical Node to a Python process or service
• Logical Runtime Plane to a topic namespace, partition, or configuration grouping
• Logical Evidence class to a test output, captured message, audit record, or evidence package

Those implementation mappings realize the logical architecture for a selected technology stack. They do not redefine the logical elements or the conceptual elements behind them.
