This function represents the physical interface of the Workspace Engine to the user. It delivers the Workspace Engine to the end-user, via the device the end user is using to 'receive' or access his workspace. There are several form factors in which the Workspace Accommodation facility appears, such as desktop, notebook or tablet. This form factor mainly determines the suitability of the workspace for its intended use.
Workspace Accommodation functionality is concerned with making ICT functionality available at a specific physical location and in a specific manner, outside of the precise [[GF.Input|Input]] and [[GF.Output|Output]] functions. It can be used to model behaviour, capability and/or characteristics for cases like the following:
 
* Specific form-factor of an end user's workspace (e.g. representing the laptop form-factor with characteristics such as battery life, ruggednes and physical portability);
Note that this Building Block comes with its own, limited set of input and output devices, typically a graphic device (e.g. monitor or terminal) and keyboard/mouse or equivalent. The set is limited in that it is the standard set for our organization; non-standard devices are added using Generic Functions [[GF.User_Input|User Input]] and/or [[GF.User_Output|User Output]].
* Delivery of a centralized virtual workspace on a specific location (e.g. representing the "thin client" computer hosting a "virtual desktop" or a "shared applications environment").

Description

This Generic Function belongs to Working Area Client Realm. Workspace Accommodation functionality is concerned with making ICT functionality available at a specific physical location and in a specific manner, outside of the precise Input and Output functions. It can be used to model behaviour, capability and/or characteristics for cases like the following:

  • Specific form-factor of an end user's workspace (e.g. representing the laptop form-factor with characteristics such as battery life, ruggednes and physical portability);
  • Delivery of a centralized virtual workspace on a specific location (e.g. representing the "thin client" computer hosting a "virtual desktop" or a "shared applications environment").
