SET-IT v2.2.35.7 (10-18-2016) ******************************************************** The Systems Engineering Tool for Intelligent Transportation (SET-IT) provides a single tool that integrates drawing and database tools with the Connected Vehicle Reference Implementation Architecture (CVRIA) so that users can develop project architectures for pilots, testbeds and early deployments. Users are required to have Visio 2010 or later. This tool is provided as-is, with no implied warranty. Additional functionality will be added in future versions. While the development team will make every effort to maintain compatibility between versions, it is possible that a future version will not be 100% database compatible with this release. Please excuse the construction dust... ******************************************************** What's new in v2.2.35.7 - All grids now include color coding to indicate which fields are editable and which fields have been edited - Added the ability to create a custom communications profile What's new in v2.2.31.9 - Enhancements to simplify user interfaces to improve performance and prevent errors. - Miscellaneous bug fixes throughout.

SET-IT will now include all diagrams with sequences, and all scenarios. - Better handling of human object types - When importing CVRIA applications that have two physical diagrams, SET-IT will now list the applications only once in the overview-applications screen, but import both physical diagrams on import - Miscellaneous bug fixes throughout. What's new in v2.0.22.12 - Improved search capabilities: "Search" will scan through most objects in your project, enabling you to navigate quickly. "Find and Replace" will search through and allow you to change user-defined and customized parts of your project. - Performance improvements throughout, in particular on element selection, layer 0/1 diagram creation, application import, startup and validation. - Additional feedback on long running tasks, including save and conversion - Bug fixes throughout. What's new in v2.0.20.13 - Communications Profile assignments from the physical view - Usability improvements and bug fixes What's new in v2.0.18.10 - Communications View content can now be created and output. Communications profiles are imported from the CVRIA and assigned to information flows. Communications stack diagrams may be generated and output (as a Visio file) for each information flow. - Full compatibility with CVRIA version 2.0. All CVRIA 2.0 content (including many new applications) included. For a complete list of associated changes, see the Change Log on the CVRIA web site. - Spell check added - Synchronize simplified: synchronize now runs automatically when the user changes between graphics and database interfaces. - Search functions added What's new in v1.2.15.9 - Import of requirements from CVRIA applications, which may be output in tables - Cleaner, more readable context diagram creation. - Added a mechanism to include context diagrams in ConOps output - Increased synchronization between physical and enterprise drawings - Event logging What's new in v1.1.13.16 - Scenarios can now be defined for your applications. This enables you to define a series of steps, associate each set with an artifact on a diagram, and include that material in output documents including the Concept of Operations. - Context diagrams for physical and enterprise objects may now be created. These diagrams show the selected object and the other objects it interacts with on a single page, and are saved to Visio files. - New applications can now be defined, allowing you to better manage diagrams and define new concepts in a fashion similar to CVRIA constructs. - The text tool and shape properties window may now be docked to the main screen. - Horizontal legend and legend components are now included in the stencil. What's new in v1.0.11.12 - Significant revisions to the CVRIA. New support applications, including: 1) Object Registration and Discovery, which provides a mechanism for systems and services to advertise their existince, communications information and what services they provide 2) System Monitoring, which provides network and service monitoring functions to registered devices and applications 3) Security Credentials Management, which provides (in simple form) for the management and distribution of security credentials 4) Revised Data Distribution application, reflecting more interactions between such systems - Updated flow characteristics - A significantly revised sample project reflecting the recent revisions to the CVRIA. Includes 21 diagrams, including layer 0 and layer 1 physical, layer 2 enterprise for every application, and layer 0 enterprise. - Assorted usability improvements, including tweaks to the user interface and more validation options - Numerous bug fixes What's new in v0.6.10.9 - Import needs from CVRIA when importing diagrams. Also allow creation, modification of needs. - Automated generation of Concept of Operations document. Template can be edited to enable customization, and sections included are configurable. By default, ConOps includes physical layers 0 and 1, enterprise layer 1, physical layer 2 as scenarios, all needs, object descriptions, stakeholder descriptions and relationships. - Human elements on physical diagrams are now synchronized with stakeholders. - User defined flows now come pre-populated with default communications characteristics, based on the source and destination object classes. - Bug fixes What's new in v0.5.9.11 - Added enterprise diagrams and diagram editing tools. The roles 'operates' and 'owns' are both enabled, and can be used as the basis for enterprise operations diagrams. Diagram models follow CVRIA Enterprise Viewpoint methodology. - Added CVRIA enterprise operations diagrams. An import of a CVRIA application automatically loads both the physical and enterprise operations diagram. Users may use the operations diagram, or replace it with an auto-generated diagram that has stakeholders populated, assuming they were assigned in the physical view. - Enhanced auto-layout for automatically generated diagrams, including layer 0, 1 physical, and any automatically generated enterprise diagram. Generally, the auto-layout places centers to the left, ITS roadway equipment to the middle/top, RSE to the middle/bottom, support objects to the bottom, vehicle and PID objects to the right. - Updated the sample project to include definitions for all user defined objects, and updated to the current version of SET-IT. - Added time and spatial context textual annotations for all flows. See the legend for encoding. - Map Update Providerand Map Update System added to relevant CVRIA source diagrams - Fixed a bug where projects saved in installations using Visio 2013 could not be opened by installations using Visio 2010 - Assorted usability improvements What's new in v0.4.8.11 - Added a sample project, accessible from the 'project' menu. This is the Unified Implementation of the CVRIA - Regional Scale. It includes 7 layer 2 diagrams and one layer 0 diagram. - Various validation checking for enterprise and physical rules - Information flows can be characterized as using a given data distribution system. This results in not showing data distribution elements on layer 2 diagrams, but a flag on the name of an i-flow (d) that indicates a data distribution system is "in the middle" for that flow. This helps keep layer 2 diagrams simpler, and focuses them on the application. When a layer 0 or layer 1 diagram is built that uses this layer 2 as a source, the data distribution object is shown. - Information flows can be shown in an 'electrical schematic' mode, where multiple flows with the same name that attach to a p-object at the same point can appear as wires on an electrical diagram: one source, multiple destinations and only one label - Built the logic to identify relationships that must exist between stakeholders that have particular roles in your architecture. This uses the CVRIA enterprise view as a model, and maps your stakeholder assignments to the CVRIA enterprise to determine the appropriate relationships. Those relationships appear on the stakeholders coordination output table - Added spatial and time text labels to information flows. See the legend for reference - Removed spatial and time context flags from p-interconnects and a-interconnects - User-defined information flows are now associated with physical objects, so when used as a source for a layer 0 diagram should result in the population of the appropriate p-interconnect. - Added a 'wrap text' feature to the Text tool - Renamed the Nudge tool the Text tool - Fixed various bugs related to project file open/close scenarios - Fixed some connection-point-related bugs - Fixed some issues regarding stencil misbehavior. You can still get yourself in trouble if you intentionally do things to the stencil, so don't do things to the stencil! What's new in v0.3.7.7 - Database synchronization ribbon button that helps keep diagrams in sync with database elements. The first in a long line of architecture validation tools. - Element description population shortcut button that pulls in CVRIA descriptions for element description. Available on the Element Details form - Copy diagram feature added to left menu, enabling the user to create a copy of an existing diagram - New diagram and new item buttons on the diagram tab - Removed the time and spatial context data graphics. This should increase some graphics performance. - Enabled the creation of multiple layer 0 diagrams. Dialog allows selection of whichever layer 2 diagrams you wish to use to build the layer 0. Defaults to all selected. - Added a new version of the Data Distribution diagram, with a new physical object, the Data Distribution System - Made table grids editable What's new in v0.2.6.4 (Enterprise, Terminals) - Beginning enterprise view functionality. Can now add stakeholders, map them to elements, define the roles they play with regard to those elements, produce output summarizing stakeholders and their roles - Evolution of the terminals capability from 0.1.5.7. Automatically generate abbreviations for all elements and p-objects. Viewable on shape properties. Used to populate terminal labels - Output a-interconnects and p-interconnects - Cleaned up the layer 0 and layer 1 diagram creation; p-objects are smaller and no longer overlap. You will still have to do lots of line re-routing though. - Added capability to see traceability between interconnects and information flows, available on the details form. This capability to evolve and become easier to follow - Added ability to set default document directory. Added a few other options related to tabular display and object deletion. Many more option settings in the future... - Auto-sync diagram names with title blocks - Fixed a bug where broadcast flows were incorrectly displayed as encrypted (confidential). Broadcast flows now default to authenticable (signed). - Fixed a bug where initiator status was not being properly reflected in the flow graphics - Assorted other bug fixes related to shape connection points, stencil management, canvas options, performance on comment and text boxes What's new in v0.1.5.7 (Physical Layer 1, Layer 0) - Added a 'terminals' capability, allowing the user to use a p-object alias for drawing information flows between p-objects. Useful for avoiding overlapping flows, and especially for diagrams where one p-object has the same i-flows with many p-objects. This capability will evolve in subsequent versions, and may change. Use at risk. - Added a capability to automatically produce a layer 1 diagram from a group of selected layer 2 diagrams. Layer 1 diagrams illustrate interfaces between application objects, which consolidate information flows between a-objects into a-interconnects. Layer 1 diagrams that are auto-generated are complete but require plenty of user customization to clean them up; objects overlap and flows overlap, but everything is on the diagram. Future versions will clean this up a bit. - Added a capability to automatically produce a layer 0 diagram based on layer 2 diagrams. Similar to layer 1, except that a-interconnects are rolled up into p-interconnects, and no a-objects are shown. Like layer 1 these diagrams will need clean up when generated. - Added a capability to associate multiple elements that are of the same CVRIA object type to a single “element group” that can be used in the Layer 0 diagrams - Added a capability to automatically update the title block on a drawing - Removed all bidirectional information flows and replaced them with two uni-directional flows. Existing projects with bi-directional flows WILL NOT be updated; users will have to do this manually - Added simple printing of what is shown on the canvas (note that export via copy/paste already exists) - Flow text may now be nudged with the arrow keys. Amount of nudge determined from nudge window - Fixed a bug where users Changes on Project Overview were not being saved What's new in v0.0.5.1 (Bug Fixes to Initial Alpha Release Version) - Fixed installation issue for Win 8.1 running Visio 2013 standard version - Fixed a bug that prevented some users from saving their project file - Enhanced error reporting while SET-IT starts up. What's new in v0.0.4.3 (Initial Alpha Release Version) - Import of CVRIA Application Physical diagrams - Creation and edit of elements, both new and associated with CVRIA objects - Basic physical diagram manipulation - Basic assignment of information flow communications characteristics - Graphical encoding of communications characteristics - Tabular output into MS Word/Excel (requires MS Office 10 or later) - Copy/paste graphical output Known Issues * This version does not support Visio 64-bit.
