Engineering Systems Integration
The service provided by the concert is entertainment. For integration
classes consider the classes: abstraction, social, and model. The abstraction
class of integration deals with the emotions and feelings of the players and
conductor and audience. The social class of integration deals with the behavioral mechanisms of people. The model class of integration deals with the
physical representations of the concert.
Consider the boundaries of the objects and processes, that is, the greatest
extent in which an object, combinations of objects, functions, and behavior
due to the presence of object (or anticipation of the presence of objects) has
on the stakeholders during the lifecycle of these same objects and processes
and all other processes and objects with whose lifecycle they may interact.
Each of these concepts relates to stakeholders; therefore, the number of
stakeholders for the simplest of systems may in general be quite extensive.
For human-built systems, changing or establishing the boundaries may
change the dimensions of the physical, functional, behavioral, or processes.
A pertinent issue for human-built systems is the impact of not including
stakeholders whose lifecycle processes, physical entities functions, and
behaviors interact in a causal manner with that of the system under evaluation. In the case of developmental products and services, missing stakeholders may represent requirements that are omitted from consideration. If
those requirements are identified, the system will need to incorporate them,
ignore them, or plan their inclusion during an upgrade phase. Of particular
interest are the integration aspects of the concert (generally referring to all
objects and processes). Performing a stakeholder analysis is key at this
point. The implication of the analysis so far is that there will be a number of
hidden requirements that need to be brought out with objects and procedures during the integration process. Flexibility and scalability must be
built into the concert.
Systemness
A system requires sustained interactions that arise from a sufficient density
of the appropriate types of objects with the appropriate types of mechanisms, fed by the appropriate types of EMMI. The bringing together of
objects and EMMI in sufficient densities and interactions is a minimum step
in integration. When integration occurs, a system is said to have come into
operation, that operation is stable, and has a lifetime. Before integration
occurs, however, parts of the system may exist in various forms (termed as a
ProtaSystem). A ProtaSystem is both a primitive system with inconsistent or
partially enacted sustainment mechanisms, with the first manifestations of
systemic behaviors. These behaviors may include (1) equifinality (various
sorts of degeneracy that are inherent in the existing structure of objects);
