from Gab: I think we need to align this methodology with the pull request: #3

* Functionalities allocated to each functional block (NOTE: only functionalities that are meaningful for fulfilling the allocated requirement)
* For each of the identified functionalities the role of the interfaces shall be described (under which conditions they are invoked)
* Safety Analysis: Do an STPA analysis and define derived safety requirements for each of the functional blocks as in 3)
* Iterate: Evaluate functional blocks complexity vs allocated safety requirements and eventually iterate back in 1) or stop here if not needed (complexity is acceptable)

From Gab: the stop criteria should be rephrased as "the are comprehensive and complete architectural mitigation measure to satisfy the allocated safety requirement or the complexity is acceptable"


* Safety Requirement Definition: an initial safety requirement must be allocated to the Kernel as a whole from the safety concept of domain specific WGs.
* Scope Identification: given a safety requirement, the code functionally supporting such requirement must be comprehensively identified
* Initial partitioning into functional blocks: one or more functional blocks in the scope of the code above must be identified and for each of these blocks we should describe:

from Gab: is the name "functional block" correct or it should be replaced by "controllers" (to meet the STPA terminology)?
