System Component

A System Component is an system in a PartOf Relation with a composite system (to provide system functionality).

• AKA: Subsystem.
• Context:
  • It can have System Interfaces for component integration.
  • It can have Component States for operational status.
  • It can require Component Testing Tasks for quality assurance.
  • It can be part of Software Integration Testing Tasks through test procedures.
  • ...
  • It can range from being a Software Component to being a Hardware Component, depending on its implementation type.
  • It can range from being a Simple Component to being a Complex Component, depending on its architectural scope.
  • ...
  • It can be used in Event-Driven Architecture (EDA) Patterns through event handling.
  • It can be analyzed in Technical Analysis Reports through component assessment.
  • It can support System Modeling Tasks through model representation.
  • ...
• Examples:
  • System Component Types, such as:
    • Information Processing Software Systems for data handling.
    • AI-Supported Software Systems for intelligent processing.
    • Organizational Management Systems for business operations.
    • Corporate Governance Systems for organizational control.
  • Component Implementations, such as:
    • Data Sources for information provision.
    • Reactor Design Patterns for event processing.
    • AI Agent System Components for agent operations.
  • ...
• Counter-Examples:
  • System Resources, which lack component interfaces.
  • External Services, which lack system integration.
  • Social Relationships, which lack technical implementation.
