Next snippet The parts of a system may have attributes ... that represent different performance, physical and other quality characteristics. Related snippets Related snippets (backlinks) The parts may have ports ... that define the points at which those parts may be interconnected ... Parts may also perform actions ... resulting in items flowing across the connections between them, and exhibit states ... that enable different actions. A part can represent any level of abstraction, such as a purely logical component without implementation constraints, or a physical component with a part number, or some intermediate abstraction. Parts can also be used to represent different kinds of system components such as hardware components, software components, facilities, organizations, or users of a system.
