Software units in the design may or may not have a one-to-one relationship with the code and data entities (routines, procedures, databases, data files, etc.) that implement them or with the computer files containing those entities. A database may be treated as a CSCI or as a software unit. The SDD may refer to software units by any name(s) consistent with the design methodology being used.
b. Relationships. Show the static (such as "consists of") relationship(s) of the software units. Multiple relationships shall be presented, depending on the selected software design methodology (for example, in an object-oriented design or modular open systems design, this paragraph may present the class and object structures as well as the module and process architectures of the CSCI).
c. Requirements and Allocation. State the purpose of each software unit, the
CSCI requirements, and the CSCI-wide design decisions allocated to it.
d. Identifying Information. Identify groups of software unit's development status/type (such as: new development, existing design or software to be reused as is, existing design or software to be reengineered, software to be developed for reuse, software planned for Build N, etc.). For existing design or software, the description shall include identifying information, such as name, version, documentation references, library, etc.
e. Computer Hardware Resources. Describe the CSCI's (and as applicable, each software unit's) planned utilization of computer hardware resources (such as processor capacity, memory capacity, input/output device capacity, auxiliary storage capacity, and communications/network equipment capacity). The description shall cover all computer hardware resources included in resource utilization requirements for the CSCI, in system-level resource allocations affecting the CSCI, and in resource utilization measurement planning in the Software Development Plan. If all utilization data for a given computer hardware resource are presented in a single location, such as in another SDD, the referenced
SDD and paragraph shall be stated. Included for each computer hardware resource shall be:
1. The CSCI requirements or system-level resource allocations being satisfied
2. The assumptions and conditions on which the utilization data are based (for example, typical usage, worst-case usage, assumptions of certain events)
3. Any special considerations affecting the utilization (such as use of virtual memory, overlays, or multiprocessors or the impacts of operating system overhead, library software, or other implementation overhead)
4. The units of measure used (such as percentage of processor capacity, cycles per second, bytes of memory, bytes per second)
5. The level(s) at which the estimates or measures are made (such as software unit, CSCI, or executable program)
f. State the library, website, etc. where the software unit is to be placed.
4.2. Concept of execution. This paragraph shall describe the concept of execution among the software units. It shall include diagrams and descriptions showing the dynamic relationship of the software units, that is, how they will interact during CSCI operation, including, as applicable:
Flow of execution control
Data flow
State transition diagrams
Timing
Priorities among units
Handling of interrupts
Timing/sequencing relationships
Exception handling
Concurrent execution
Dynamic allocation/deallocation
Dynamic creation or deletion of objects, processes, tasks, and other aspects of dynamic behavior
4.3. Interface design. This paragraph shall be divided into the following subparagraphs to describe the interface characteristics of the software units. It shall include both interfaces among the software units and their interfaces with external entities such as systems, configuration items, Service level Agreements for interfaces, and users. If part or all of this information is contained in IDDs or elsewhere, these sources may be referenced.
4.3.1 Interface identification and diagrams. This paragraph shall state the project-unique identifier assigned to each interface and shall identify the interfacing entities (software units, systems, configuration items, users, etc.) by name, number, version, and documentation references, as applicable. The identification shall state which entities have fixed interface characteristics (and therefore impose interface requirements on interfacing entities) and which are being developed or modified (thus having interface requirements imposed on them). If needed one or more interface diagrams shall be provided, as appropriate, to depict the interfaces.
4.3.2 (Unique identifier of interface). This paragraph shall identify an interface by unique identifier, shall briefly identify the interfacing entities, and shall be divided into subparagraphs, as needed, to describe the interface characteristics of one or both of the interfacing entities. If a given interfacing entity is not covered by this SDD (for example, an external system) but its interface characteristics need to be mentioned to describe interfacing entities that are, these characteristics shall be stated as assumptions or as “When [the entity not covered] does this, [the entity that is covered] will…” This paragraph may reference other documents (such as data dictionaries, standards for protocols, and standards for user interfaces) in place of stating the information here. The design description shall include the following, as applicable, presented in any order suited to the information to be provided, and shall note any differences in these characteristics from the point of view of the interfacing entities (such as different expectations about the size, frequency, or other characteristics of data elements):

1. Unique identifier(s)
2. Communication links, bands, frequencies, media and their characteristics
3. Message formatting
4. Flow control (such as sequence numbering and buffer allocation)
5. Data transfer rate, whether periodic/aperiodic, and interval between transfers
6. Routing, addressing, and naming conventions
7. Transmission services, including priority and grade
8. Safety, security, and privacy considerations, such as encryption, user authentication, compartmentalization, and auditing
g. Characteristics of protocols that the interfacing entity(ies) use for the interface, such as:
