Exercises
This exercise is designed with the intention of having individuals work collaboratively in groups.
Based on the discussion in this chapter, work in a group (if possible) to develop collaborative models to represent various approaches that ensure interoperability. Present your model(s) in graphic form (see for example, the methods used for direct crosswalking and cross-switching models in figures 8-3-4 and 8-3-5). Where graphic models exist, try to represent the same mechanism in a different manner that still accurately conveys the principles involved. Attempt to design as many models as there are approaches discussed in the chapter. Be creative and highly abstract; and, where group-work is possible, discuss and brainstorm about possible new model designs.
