A technology object models the passive structure elements that are used and processed by the infrastructure. Technology objects represent the “physical” objects manipulated by the infrastructure of an enterprise. Technology objects are abstract elements; i.e., they are not instantiated in models but serve as the generic type of the things manipulatedRead More →
Behavior Concepts Behavior elements in the Technology Layer are similar to the behavior elements in the other layers. A distinction is made between the external behavior of nodes in terms of technology services, and the internal behavior of these nodes; i.e., technology functions that realize these services. Technology Function ConceptRead More →
Active Structure Element The main active structure element for the Technology Layer is the node. This element is used to model structural entities in this layer which as the following characteristics: It is used to model application servers, database servers, or client workstations. It is often a combination of aRead More →
Technology Layer The Technology Layer depicts technology services such as processing, storage, and communication services needed to run the applications, and the computer and communication hardware and system software that realize those services. Physical elements are added for modeling physical equipment, materials, and distribution networks to this layer. Metamodel TheRead More →
