I am too tired this evening, too
tired to be politic, too tired to notice if I am replying to one or to all.
Ouch.
I will go meditate on the Bats flying
in the attic now.

I’m glad you are going to
pull it together this week. I found this afternoon *excruciating*

Hi Toby,
Spins on Services and Building Performances may eventually fit
together.
Using your example: after these services have been so defined
(Encapsulated Objects with little need for process detail, just the message
inputs) the conversations around Service Performance Measurement will occur.
After the Tidal Wave Alert, for example, certain City Beach Building’s
performance and potential service improvements, would occur at the appropriate
local levels.

Cheers,
Bob

Recognizing Services:
As part of another conversation, relating the CAP alert system that is replacing
the emergency broadcast system, and the desire to be able to send CAP alerts
directly to buildings….
In the ideal system, CAP alerts would go out from whatever source,
whether national or regional, whether intelligence or police. Each CAP alert
would contain many types documents, each intended for different markets. One of
those document types would be the building response, which would have two
components. One component would be the informational component, the terse
public explanation of the alert. One component would be the simple response
type, or what Michelle and I call service, that we expect from the building.
The service request would be generic, irrespective of the actual building and
its capabilities.
The facility master system integrator (FMSI), the trade responsible for
integrating the low level building systems for interaction with the enterprise,
would be responsible for defining each services the building was expected to
perform. The FMSI has the local knowledge of each building, and the missions
housed therein. The possibly national entity sending out the CAP alert would
not know the details of every building / outdoor athletic facility / airport /
civic center / ….
Within the generic realm of Emergency response, we can imagine the building
offering weather response services for responding to Ice Emergency Alerts,
Tornado Touchdowns Alerts, Tidal Wave Alerts, Flood Alerts, et al. In some
regions, such as the Midwest, insurance premiums could be lower for a building
with an approved response plan for Tornado Alerts, but no Tidal Wave Alert
response would be in place. On the coast, the opposite might apply.

to one who is striking at the root." -- David Thoreau
