+Rule Based Arbitrator decides which of the content to display when a large number of contents to be displayed on the cockpit display device (CID, meter, HUD, etc.) occur simultaneously under a certain rule (arbitration).
+
+### 1. Overview
+
+#### 1.1 Purpose of this document
+
+This document describes the syntax of the Rule-based Arbitration Model.
+
+#### 1.2 Basic syntax
+
+The basic syntax of the Rule-based Arbitration Model is as follows.
+
+
+
+Define the properties of the model element in {} after declaration of Model element keyword, Model element ID. Each property depends on the element. The properties of the model element may also define other model elements.
+
+#### 1.3 Relationship between files and Model definitions
+
+The Rule-based Arbitration Model can be defined in multiple files. (The extension of the file will be ".rba") Firstly, define the Package model element in the file.
+
+Areas.rba
+```shell
+Package AreasPackage {
+
+}
+```
+Content.rba
+```shell
+Package ContentsPackage {
+
+}
+```
+
+#### 1.4 Structure of Rule-based Arbitration Model
+
+The elements of the Rule-based Arbitration Model are as follows. Each inheritance relationship between elements is defined and expresses elements that can be described in PackagableElement.
+
+
+
+#### 1.5 Notation of Syntax Definition
+
+For Model element
+
+syntax:
+```shell
+Package [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ [PackagableElement]
+}
+```
+
+Description:
+
+| Syntax element | Description |
+| :--- | :---- |
+| description: 0..1 | Description |
+| [PackagableElement] * | Child element Package,Display,Size,Constraint,PostConstraint,Scene,Event,Rule,Area,AreaSet,ViewContent,ViewContentSet|
+
+The multiplicity is expressed as follows:
+
+| Expression of multiplicity | Description |
+| :--- | :--- |
+| * | 0 or more |
+| 1..* | 1 or more |
+| 1 | 1 |
+| 0..1 | 0 or 1 |
+
+Description of [] notation is as follows:
+
+| Syntax element | Description |
+| :--- | :---- |
+| [ID] | ID. A character string in which the first character is not a number. Only _ can be used for symbols, Space cannot be used.
+| [String] | An arbitrary character string. specify it by enclosing with "". |
+| [Number] | An integer that is greater than equal 0. |
+| [expression] | An expression whose return value is a property type. |
+| [<Model element keyword\>] | Definition of other Model elements. Sometimes an abstract class is specified. |
+| [ID of A] | Reference to other Model elements. A represents an element. |
+| [X\|Y] | Indicates that you can describe X or Y. |
+
+### 2. Common
+
+#### 2.1 Package
+
+The Package element is the root element in the file. It has PackagableElement as a Child element and groups PackagableElements in arbitrary units.
+
+syntax:
+```shell
+Package [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ [PackagableElement]
+}
+```
+
+| Syntax element | Description |
+| :--- | :---- |
+| description: 0..1 | Description |
+| [PackagableElement] * | Child element Package,Display,Size,Constraint,PostConstraint,Scene,Event,Rule,Area,AreaSet,ViewContent,ViewContentSet|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+Package SamplePackage {
+ description: "This is a sample Packege"
+ Area SampleArea {
+ arbitrationPolicy: DEFAULT
+ sizeReference: SampleSize1
+ visibility: NONE_VALUE
+ zorder: 3
+ }
+ ViewContent SampleContent {
+ allocatable: [SampleArea1]
+ State NORMAL {
+ priority: STANDARD_VALUE
+ }
+ }
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.2 Size
+
+Size is the size of Area and ViewContent.
+
+Syntax:
+
+```shell
+Size [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ width: [Number]
+ height: [Number]
+}
+```
+
+| Syntax element | Description |
+| :--- | :---- |
+| description: 0..1 | Description of Size element |
+| width: 1 | width |
+| height: 1 | height |
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+Size ScreenSize {
+ description: " Screen size"
+ width: 200
+ height: 200
+}
+```
+
+#### 2.3 Project
+
+The Project element is an element that can be defined only once in one project.
+Like The Package element, it can be defined directly under the file.
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+Project {
+ version: [String]
+}
+```
+
+| Syntax element | Description |
+| :--- | :---- |
+|version: 1| Version of the Project|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+Project {
+ version: "version 1.0"
+}
+```
+
+
+### 3. Area
+
+Area is a frame to display the ViewContent on the screen. Only one ViewContent is allocated to one Area at most. Since Arbitration is executed for each Area, the Arbitration Policy is defined.
+
+Syntax:
+
+```shell
+Area [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ arbitrationPolicy: [DEFAULT | FIRST_COME_FIRST | LAST_COME_FIRST | PRIORITY_FIRST_COME_FIRST | PRIORITY_LAST_COME_FIRST]
+ [[Size]| sizeReference:[ID of Size]]
+ [visibility|priority]:[Number|Expression]
+ zorder:[Number|Expression]
+}
+```
+
+| Syntax element | Description |
+| :--- | :---- |
+| description: 0..1 | Description |
+| arbitrationPolicy: 0..1 | Arbitration Policy for Area. Refer to "Types of Arbitration Policy" for the policies which can be specified. If not specified, consider it as "DEFAULT".
+| [Size\|sizeReference:] 1..* | Size: Size definition.|
+|| sizeReference: Reference to Size definition.|
+|| ※One or more definitions of either Size or sizeReference are needed. Multiple definitions should be defined consecutively.|
+| [visibility\|priority]: 1 | Value of Area. Describe the relative value for other Areas as an expression or set a numerical value.|
+|| The following predefined value can be set as a String. NONE_VALUE, STANDARD_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE See " Value / Z order definition" for details. |
+| zorder: 1 | Z order of Area. Describe the relative Z order for other Areas as an expression or set a numerical value. The following predefined value can be set as a String. |
+||NONE_VALUE, STANDARD_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE See " Value / Z order definition" for details. |
+
+
+
+Types of Arbitration Policy
+
+| Arbitration Policy | Description |
+| :--- | :---- |
+| DEFAULT | Same as Priority and First Come First Arbitration. If the Arbitration Policy is not specified, it will be this type.|
+| FIRST_COME_FIRST | First Come First Arbitration. Give priority to the request which occurred first. |
+| LAST_COME_FIRST | Last Come First Arbitration. Give priority to the request which occurred later. |
+| PRIORITY_FIRST_COME_FIRST | Priority and First Come First Arbitration. It follows the priority set to the Content. If the priority is the same, give priority to the request which occurred first. |
+| PRIORITY_LAST_COME_FIRST | Priority and Last Come First Arbitration. It follows the priority set to the Content. If the priority is the same, give priority to the request which occurred later.|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+Area SampleArea {
+ description: "This is a sample Area."
+ arbitrationPolicy: DEFAULT
+ Size Default {
+ width: 200
+ height: 150
+ }
+ sizeReference: SampleSize1
+ visibility: NONE_VALUE
+ zorder: 3
+}
+```
+
+### 4. Value / Z order definition
+
+Values (visibility or priority) of area is the order of arbitrating of the area. The higher is arbitrated first. You can describe only one of the visibility or priority.
+For the Z order (zorder), the higher one will be on the front of the screen. You can define values absolutely by number or define relatively to other areas by expressions. You can use comparison operators (> and <), equality operator (=) and That-of operator for the expressions.
+
+- Description example of value :
+Visibility of SampleArea2 is 10, zorder is 5.
+```shell
+Area SampleArea2 {
+ visibility: 10
+ zorder: 5
+}
+```
+- Description example of comparison operator:
+Priority of SampleArea1 is greater than SampleArea2. Zorder of SampleArea1 is less than SampleArea3.
+```shell
+Area SampleArea1 {
+ priority: > That-of SampleArea1
+ zorder: < That-of SampleArea3
+}
+```
+- Description example of range:
+Visibility of SampleArea1 is greater than 1 and less than SampleArea2. Zorder of SampleArea1 is greater than SampleArea3 and less than SampleArea4.
+```shell
+Area SampleArea1 {
+ visibility: (> 1 AND < That-of SampleArea2)
+ zorder: (> That-of SampleArea3 AND < That-of SampleArea4)
+}
+```
+
+- Description example of equality operator:
+```shell
+Area SampleArea1 {
+ visibility: = That-of SampleArea2
+ zorder: = That-of SampleArea3 + That-of SampleArea2
+}
+```
+
+- Equality operator can be omitted.
+```shell
+Area SampleArea1 {
+ visibility: That-of SampleArea2
+ zorder: That-of SampleArea3 + That-of SampleArea2
+}
+```
+
+### 5. ViewContent definition
+
+#### 5.1 ViewContent
+
+ViewContent is an object to be displayed in the Area. ViewContent has multiple states. When ViewContent is allocated to an Area, active state of theViewContent is displayed. Define the Area which can display ViewContent to the ViewContent. You can define several Areas.
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+ViewContent [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ allocatable: [ [ID of Area] | [ID of Set] ]
+ [ViewContentState]
+ [[Size]|sizeReference: [ID of Size]]
+ loserType: [GOOD_LOSER | DO_NOT_GIVEUP_UNTIL_WIN | NEVER_GIVEUP]
+}
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |

+| [ViewContentState] 1..* |Define the State of ViewContent.|
+|[Size\|sizeReference:] 1..*|Size: Size definition|
+||sizeReference: Reference to Size definition.|
+||※One or more definitions of either Size or sizeReference are needed. Multiple definitions should be defined consecutively.|
+|loserType: 0..1| Action on lost. Specify whether to cancel a request, if ViewContent is not displayed after arbitration. See "Types of Action on lost" for details. If not defined, consider it as "NEVER_GIVEUP".|
+
+Types of Action on lost

+Description example:
+```shell
+ViewContent Power {
+description: " Warning from power management"
+ allocatable: [
+ MessageArea, HUDMessageArea
+ ]
+ State Warning {
+ priority: > That-of Power.Attention
+ }
+ State Attention {
+ priority: > That-of TEL.Incoming
+ }
+Size Default {
+description: "Default size"
+width: 200

+|description: 0..1 | Description
+|[priority\|value]: 1 | Priority of ViewContent. |
+||Describe the relative value for other State under ViewContent as an expression, or set a numerical value. |
+||The following predefined value can be set as a String.NONE_VALUE, STANDARD_VALUE, MIN_VALUE, MAX_VALUE See "Priority definition"for details. |
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+State Warning {
+ description: "Display warning message"
+priority: > That-of Attention
+}
+State Attention {
+ description: " Display attention message "
+priority: > That-of TEL.Incoming
+}
+```
+### 6. Priority definition
+
+Define the priority of Content to the State under ViewContent or SoundContent (hereinafter, Content). The priority is used when the area / zone arbitration policy is "Priority and First Come First Arbitration" or "Priority and Last Come First Arbitration", the higher one is allocated first. Values can be defined absolutely by number or relative to other areas by expressions. You can describe only one of the visibility or priority. You can use comparison operators (> and <), equality operator (=) and That-of operator for the expressions.
+
+- Description example of value:
+Priority of Warning is 10.
+```shell
+State Warning {
+ description: " Display warning message "
+priority: 10
+}
+```
+- Description example of comparison operator:
+Value of Warning is greater than Attention.
+<br>Value of Attention is greater than State Incoming of TEL of other Content.
+<br>Value of Notice is less than Attention.
+<br>※When referring to the State of another Content, refer to the Content ID and State ID by connecting with “.”.
+```shell
+State Warning {
+ value: > That-of Attention
+}
+
+State Attention {
+ value: > That-of TEL.Incoming
+}
+
+State Notice {
+ value: < That-of Attention
+}
+```
+
+- Description example of range: Priority of Attention is greater than Incoming of TEL and less than Warning.
+<br>※When referring to the State of another Content, refer to the Content ID and State ID by connecting with “.”.
+```shell
+State Attention {
+ priority: (> That-of TEL.Incoming AND < That-of Warning)
+}
+```
+
+- Description example of equality operator:Value of Attention is equal to State Incoming of TEL of other Content.
+```shell
+State Attention {
+ priority: = That-of TEL.Incoming
+}
+```
+- Equality operator can be omitted.
+```shell
+State Attention {
+ priority: That-of TEL.Incoming
+}
+```

+
+#### 8.1 Constraint
+
+Constraint describes constraint expressions. There are two types of constraint expressions Runtime constraints and Offline constraints. A Runtime constraint is a constraint expression that should be be true at the time of arbitration and controls the behavior of arbitration. An Offline constraint is a constraint expression that should be satisfied after arbitration and tests the arbitration result.
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+Constraint [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ runtime: [true|false]
+ [expression]
+}
+```
+
+|Syntax element |Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|description: 0..1| Description|
+|runtime: 1 |true: Runtime constraint|
+||Arbitrate each Area / Zone to be true this constraint.|
+||false: Offline constraint|
+||Verify that this constraint is true after all Area arbitration.|
+|[expression] 1| Constraint expression|

+<br>In the constraint expression, it is possible to express logical AND, logical OR, negation, which is a general logical operator, with AND, OR, and !. By using () you can also use in combination.
+
+Example: Content1 is displayed or Content2 and Content3 are not displayed at the same time.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint1 {
+runtime: true
+Content1.isVisible() OR !(Content2.isVisible() AND Content3.isVisible())
+}
+```
+Example: SampleContent1 is displayed or SampleContent2 is not displayed.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint1 {
+ description: "Sample Constraint Expression"
+ runtime: true
+ SampleContent1.isVisible() OR !SampleContent2.isVisible()
+}
+```
+
+- Implication
+
+Implications are false only if the left-hand side is true and the right-hand side is false, otherwise it is true.
+
+Example: SampleContent4 is displayed if there is a request of SampleContent4.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint3 {
+ runtime: true
+ SampleContent4.isActive() -> SampleContent4.isVisible()
+}
+```
+
+Example: If SampleArea1 displays SampleContent3, SampleArea2 does not display SampleContent3.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint2 {
+ runtime: true
+ (SampleArea1.displayingContent() == SampleContent3)
+-> !(SampleArea2.displayingContent() == SampleContent3)
+}
+```
+
+Example: If the value of the content displayed on SampleArea1 is higher than the value of the content displayed in SampleArea2, hide SampleArea2.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint2 {
+ runtime: true
+ (SampleArea1.contentValue() > SampleArea2.contentValue())
+-> SampleArea2.isHidden())
+}
+```
+
+Example: If the value of property1 of the information received from other RBAModel (Project) is 1, Content10 is not displayed.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ (SampleScene1.isOn() AND SampleScene1.property1.get() = 1)
+ -> ! Content10.isVisible()
+}
+```
+
+- For-All
+
+For-All targets a set, and it is true if all element of the set satisfies a lambda expression ({element name declaration | element condition}).
+For the set, you can specify a defined set or an One-time set. (Refer to “Group definition” for more informations.)
+<br>Example: If SampleContent1 is displayed, all Areas of AreaGroup1 is not displayed.
+<br> It is assumed that "AreaGroup1" is defined as AreaSet.
+
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ runtime: true
+ SampleContent1.isVisible() ->
+For-All AreaGroup1 { x | x.isHidden() }
+}
+```
+
+- Exists
+
+Exists targets a set, and it is true if even one element of the set satisfies a Lambda expression ({element name declaration | element condition}).
+<br>For the set, you can specify a defined set or an One-time set. (Refer to “Group definition” for more informations.)
+<br>Example: If any Content of ContentGroup1 is displayed, all Areas of AreaGroup1 is not displayed.
+<br> It is assumed that "ContentGroup1" is defined as ContentSet.
+<br> It is assumed that "AreaGroup1" is defined as AreaSet.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ runtime: true
+ Exists ContentGroup1{ x | x.isVisible() } ->
+For-All AreaGroup1 { x | x.isHidden() }
+}
+```
+
+- IF-THEN-ELSE
+Example: If the scene is SampleScene1, SampleContent4 is displayed, otherwise SampleContent4 is not displayed.
+
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint4 {
+ runtime: true
+ IF(SampleScene1.isOn())
+ THEN
+ SampleContent4.isVisible()
+ ELSE
+ !SampleContent4.isVisible()
+}
+```
+
+- (pre)
+Example: If SampleContent 1 is displayed (before arbitration), SampleContent 2 is not displayed.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ runtime: true
+(pre)SampleContent1.isVisible() -> !SampleContent2.isVisible()
+}
+```
+
+- HasComeEarlierThan/HasComeLaterThan
+Example: If request SampleContent 1 has come earlier then SampleContent 2, SampleContent 2 does not displayed.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ runtime: true
+SampleContent1.hasComeEarlierThan(SampleContent2) -> !SampleContent2.isVisible()
+}
+```
+Below constraint behave as same as above.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ runtime: true
+SampleContent2.hasComeLaterThan(SampleContent1) -> !SampleContent2.isVisible()
+}
+```
+
+#### 8.2 Syntax sugar

+This syntax sugar simplifies the constraint expressions and improves their readability. You can use them like the existing constraint expressions.
+Below are the syntax sugars that can be used.
+
+- Inequality（!=）
+<br>It means that the left side value and the right side value are not equal. You can use this to compare objects.
+True if the left side value and the right side value are not equal.

+
+### 9. Group definition
+
+#### 9.1 AreaSet
+
+When dealing with multiple Areas in the Constraint expression, in order to describe it simply, you can define multiple Areas together in one group.
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+AreaSet [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ target: [ [ID of Area] ]
+}
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|description: | 0..1 Description|
+|target: 0..* | Areas or AreaSets which compose the group. Specify the ID of the Area or the AreaSet with comma-separated.|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+AreaSet MainScreen {
+ description: "Area constituting the main screen"
+ target: [SampleArea, SampleArea1, OtherAreaSet]
+}
+```
+#### 9.2 ViewContentSet
+
+When dealing with multiple ViewContents in the Constraint expression, in order to describe it simply, you can define multiple ViewContents together in one group.
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+ViewContentSet [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ allocatable: [ [ID of Area] ]
+ target: [ [ID of ViewContent] ]
+}
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|description: | 0..1 Description|
+|allocatable: 0..*| Displayable Areas or AreaSets.Specify the ID of the Areas or the AreaSets with comma-separated.|
+|target: 0..*| ViewContents or ViewContentSets which compose the group. Specify the ID of the ViewContents or ViewContentSets with comma-separated.|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+ViewContentSet InterruptContent{
+ allocatable: [
+ MessageArea, HUDMessageArea, InterruptAreaGroup
+ ]
+ target: [
+ TEL,Power, ViewContentGroup
+ ]
+}
+```
+
+#### 9.3 One-time Set
+
+Specify an set in the For-All or the Exists constraint, you can define the One-time set.
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+{ [ID] }
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|[ID] 1..* |Element of the set. Specify the IDs of elements with comma-separated.
+||The type of elements should be same.|
+||At this time, Area and AreaSet regard it as the same type.( ViewContent and ViewContentSet are treat similarly.)
+
+- Description example: Define the One-time set as AreaSet.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ runtime: true
+ SampleContent1.isVisible() ->
+For-All {Area1, Area2, Area3} { x | x.isHidden() }
+}
+```
+
+- Description example: Define the One-time set as ViewContentSet.
+```shell
+Constraint SampleConstraint {
+ runtime: true
+ Exists {ViewContent1, ViewContentSet1} { x | x.isActive() -> x.isVisible() }
+}
+```
+### 10. Scene definition
+#### 10.1 Scene
+Scene comprehensively expresses the state at the time including the system, and it is used to switch the status of Area/Zone, View/Sound Content by Scene. You can also define the Global scene and share the results of arbitration among multiple RBA Models (Projects).
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+Scene [ID] {
+ description: [String]
+ global: [true|false]
+ [Property]
+}
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|description: 0..1| Description|
+|global: 0..1| true: Global Scene for sharing arbitration results with other RBA Models (Projects).|
+||false: Local Scene.|
+||If not defined, consider it as "false".|
+|[Property] 0..*| Information for sharing arbitration results with other RBA models (Projects).|
+||Can define only if global is true.|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+Scene AutoDrivingScene {
+ description: "In auto driving mode"
+}
+
+Scene DisplayEventNotification {
+ global: true
+ int OverallPriority: 6
+ int RiskSeverity: 3
+ int RiskMargin: 1
+}
+```
+#### 10.2 Property
+
+Property is arbitrary properties which is defined in the Scene.
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+int [String]: [Number]
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|[String] 1 |Arbitrary Property name|
+|[Number] 1 |Default value of Property. Positive integer can be specified.|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+int RiskSeverity: 3
+```
+
+### 11. Stereotype
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+StereoType<[Target Model Name]> [ID] ([valiable]) @BEGIN@
+description: [String]
+ [Propaties of Element]
+@END@
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|description: 0..1| Description|
+|[Target Model Name] 1| Identify the applicable model by describing the model element keywords|
+||It can be applied to the Area, ViewContent models|
+|[valiable] 0..*| Describe an arbitrary variable as the parameter to be replaced, which will be set in the property of the model element specified in [Target Model Name].If there are multiple variables, separate them with commas.|
+|[Properties of Element] 1..*| Describe the properties of the model element specified in [Target Model Name].In the property, the value to be replaced is written in @{[variable]} .|
+||The variables must match the variables described in ().|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+Stereotype<ViewContent> display_warnning (name,allocatable,priority) @BEGIN@
+ description: “@{name}”
+ allocatable: [@{allocatable}]
+ Size WarnSize {
+ width: 300
+ height: 100
+ }
+ State NORMAL { piority: @{priority} }
+
+@END@
+```
+
+### 12. Tag
+
+Syntax:
+```shell
+<<[Stereotype ID]>> | <<[Stereotype ID]>>{“[String]”}
+```
+
+|Syntax element | Description|
+| :--- | :---- |
+|[ID of Stereotype] 0..*| Can be assigned to Area, ViewContent|
+||If StereoType is defined, then the child elements and attributes defined there will be expanded as child elements and attributes of this object|
+||Multiple definitions can be made for a single model. To define more than one, define them consecutively.|
+|[String] 0..* |Argument value|
+||If there is no argument, it can be omitted|
+
+Description example:
+```shell
+ViewContent Warning_1 {
+ <<display_warning>>{ “Warning_01”,”Area1”,“1” }
+}
+
+ViewContent Warning_2 {
+ <<display_warning>>{ “Warning_02”,”Area2”,”2” }
+}
+
+Stereotype<ViewContent> display_warnning (name,allocatable,priority) @BEGIN@
+ description: “@{name}”
+ allocatable: [@{allocatable}]
+ Size WarnSize {
+ width: 300
+ height: 100
