Separation of ConcernsA c o n c e r n in information system engineering is a care related to a problem fromthe real world of one or more stakeholders involved in the construction or evolutionof an information system in its natural environment. The care of a stakeholder

depends on his/her interest or preoccupation on which he/she has related to aproblem from the real world. The interest of a stakeholder derives frequently from aneed, but can also originate in a desire, another interest or his/her responsibility inthe information system evolution process.

Name: Care to find how the clinical manifestation of the disease is related to the objectivesattainment and the selection criteria identification

Prob.

Hypothesis: The following information is available: trial objectives, trial design,

statistical considerations and previous CT projects and their scientific results.

Conclusion: How will the disease in the stage treated in the study is tested in order toget the diagnostic? What basic characteristics (gender, life expectancy, performancestatus) does the study population affected by the disease have? How the clinicalmanifestation of the disease might affect the safety of the subjects and the attainmentof the objectives? What particularities of the disease are important for the identificationof the selection criteria? How the pathogenesis of the disease might affect the generalclinical state of the subjects and the inferring of the selection criteria?

K1 The persons who have the disease in the stage considered by the study areeligible.

B8 The clinical manifestation of the disease is related to the attainment of theobjectives and the selection criteria identification

B9 The disease in its stage has a diagnostic as it resulted from the tests

B10 The existence of the disease and its stage might affect the life expectancy of aperson

B11 The life expectancy is a characteristic of study population

B12 The study population has other basic characteristics: age, gender, race and

performance statusB13 The existence of the disease and its stage might affect the performance status

of a personB14 The clinical manifestation of the disease might have some particularities that

are important to identify the selection criteria.K15 Any disease has a pathogenesis.

B16 The pathogenesis of the disease might affect the general clinical state of thesubjects and the inference of the selection criteria.

Our Software Design Approach ofSoftware Architecture

1. Architectural module construction for each concern

2. For each concern introducing a controller object

3. Stating the model classes

4. Each object of a model class is a wrapper of an individual

of the mapped concept
