<td class="print-category">Description</td>
<td colspan="5" class="print">The current specification doesn't give
clear guidelines whether it is possible to change a sampling rate of
modes by the means of the stepsize parameter or whether sampling always
occurs at basic sampling rate.<br />
<br />
The chapter 5.1.2 says that "in addition, sampling rates can<br />
be set separately and as part of the test specification by means of
stepsize attribute." That would point out to the possibility that any
sampling rate can be changed, including the one used in modes.<br />
<br />
However, the following paragraph mentions only port sampling rates:
"This number (i.e. the value associated with the stepsize parameter)
interpreted as seconds is used as the default rate of sampling values
over the stream ports to which are affected by this stepsize
attribute."<br />
<br />
In my opinion, the specification should explicitly specify if the
stepsize attribute affects modes or not to prevent possible
misinterpretation and one of the following rules shall be added to the
specification:<br />
<br />
1. (This number interpreted as seconds is used ... over the stream
ports) and the sampling rate of modes (which are affected by this
attribute).<br />
2. The stepsize attribute has no effect on sampling procedure of modes;
mode sampling rate is always equal to the basic rate of the concrete
test system.</td>

<td class="print">There is, in my opinion, no sampling rate for modes.
The only things that are sampled are stream ports. Their sampling
activates mode-steps which then use the latest sampling values.<br />
<br />
It is even conceptually. allowed to have modes which work on ports with
different sampling rates. The mode, in essence is not an active entity,
but a passive one which is event-and-sampling-driven.<br />
<br />
Thus, I think the CR is invalid and should be rejected.<br />

<td class="print">I am afraid that I absolutely disagree with this
explanation. I couldn't find a single word in the current specification
saying that modes are passive event-driven entities.<br />
<br />
All that I can read from the specification is that while a mode is
active, its content is executed periodically, once each sampling step.
Please notice that the specification even explicitely uses word "active"
when describing mode behaviour.<br />
<br />
In addition to that, current rules contained in the chapter of modes
refer simply to "sampling step" without saying that it is actually a
sampling step related to ports referenced inside mode statements. The
current specification also doesn't say anything about dependency of
sampling on events which you offer as an alternative trigger for mode
activity.<br />
<br />
Besides, there are practical problems related to the passive
approach:<br />
1. Modes can be defined without refering any port or trigger event. What
would be the sampling step then?<br />
2. Relevant ports (used in invariants and until guards) might be hidden
behind functions containing runtime-evaluated branchinch statements.
Gathering port references from these functions calls requires very
complex analysis of the runtime code and might be practically impossible
in some cases.</td>

<td class="print">As I was highly involved in the conception of the
continuous package, I can assure you that there was never any concept of
sampling rate of modes intended. They shall only be activated by ports
being sampled or other non-periodic events (like message reception) they
wait for.<br />
<br />
The only things that are supposed to have sampling rates are the ports
which then, when used by the modes, inflict an (implicit) sampling rate
per mode, but, if the mode uses more than one port with different
sampling rates, the activation of the modes by the ports is very
arbitrary and has nothing much to do with a 'rate' anymore.<br />
<br />
If our intention is not clear from the text, that needs to be clarified,
but not by introducing concepts that clearly contradict our
intention.</td>

<td class="print">Jacob, thank you for explanation. I have no problem
with this concept, but I am afraid that the impression one can have from
the the current text is that mode is an active statement whose stepsize
can be set. At least I had this impression.<br />
<br />
Actually, if the specification clearly stated that modes are always
sampled using the base sampling rate, the concept of activity or
passivity would be irrelevant, because port sampling rates are required
to be multiples of the base sampling rate (there would be still
differences e.g. in logging output, but similar differences occur during
taking snapshots in alt statements and they do not affect test results).
Such a rule (or similar) would be in line with the general approach used
in the TTCN-3 specification: to introduce theoretical concepts rather
than include implementaion details.<br />
<br />
I would also appreciate if the specification contained operational
semantics for mode statements. These statements are quite complicated
and different from those known from standard programming languages.
Operational semantics would provide the reader with schematic
description of the concept and it could prevent misunderstandings of
this kind.</td>

<td class="print">New draft created according to Jacob's comments. It
contains a rule that modes alway use the base sampling and that the
stepsize attribute doesn't have any effect. In addition, there's a note
saying that mode sampling is just a theoretical concept, not a
prescription for implementation and that implementation details might
differ. Jacob's sample of passive approach with triggers is used as an
example of possible implementation.<br />
<br />
I hope the rules written this way are acceptable for everyone.<br />
Jens, could you please check the resolution?</td>
