System Session

A System Session is a session that represents a bounded period of system operation performed by a computing system for specific system tasks.

• Context:
  • Session Input: System Commands, Resource Requests, Operation Parameters
    • Optional Input: Configuration Settings, Priority Levels, Resource Limits
  • Session Output: Operation Results, System Logs, Performance Data
  • Session Performance Measures: Resource Usage, Operation Time, Success Rate
  • ...
  • It can (typically) follow System Protocols for operation management.
  • It can (typically) maintain System State through state tracking.
  • It can (typically) manage Resource Allocation during execution.
  • ...
  • It can (often) handle System Errors through recovery mechanisms.
  • It can (often) generate Performance Metrics for system analysis.
  • It can (often) enforce Resource Limits through constraint management.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Background System Session to being a Foreground System Session, depending on operation visibility.
  • It can range from being a Low Priority System Session to being a High Priority System Session, depending on resource priority.
  • It can range from being a Single Resource Session to being a Multi Resource Session, depending on resource scope.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • Task Session Instances:
    • Analysis Sessions:
      • Log Analysis Session for event processing.
      • Performance Analysis Session for metric evaluation.
      • Security Analysis Session for threat detection.
    • Maintenance Sessions:
      • Database Maintenance Session for data optimization.
      • Network Maintenance Session for connectivity management.
      • Storage Maintenance Session for space management.
  • Background Sessions:
    • Backup Sessions:
      • System Backup Session for state preservation.
      • Data Backup Session for content preservation.
      • Config Backup Session for setting preservation.
    • Update Sessions:
      • Security Update Session for protection enhancement.
      • Software Update Session for functionality upgrade.
      • Configuration Update Session for setting modification.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • User Sessions, which involve direct user interaction.
  • Service Sessions, which focus on service delivery.
  • Network Connections, which represent communication links.
  • Process Instances, which may span multiple sessions.
