possible that something will happen in the future if certain conditions develop. In contrast to a prediction, a projection specifically
allows for significant changes in the set of “boundary conditions”
that might influence the prediction, creating “if this, then that” types
of statements.
Scenarios describe events or activities (enactments of functions or
processes) that synopsize a sequence of intentions or events to assist
in accounting for a plausible future (Peterson et al. 2003). Scenarios
can be used to explore the uncertainties of integration based on patterns of behavior (order and schedules of objects). The Bayesian
interpretation of scenario development leads the defining of object
order, start time, and duration as probabilistic measures of the
stakeholder beliefs that the pattern will occur, given all that is relevant, known, and included by the stakeholders. In this interpretation, the probability of an event occurring in the sequence specified,
at the starting time indicated, and having duration stipulated is
dependent on both the event and the stakeholder’s knowledge of
the event (Poh 1993).
Scope: The extent of one’s purpose or aim within a boundary. Scope is determined by work that will satisfy the stakeholders. Scope of a product or service is defined spatially by its physical, functional, and
behavioral boundaries.
Social classification of integration: The classification of integration focused
on the procedures (or social mechanisms (Moody and White 2003;
Reed 2008)) of carrying out the cognitive issues of process and the
physical realization of the objects and procedures as a means of documenting the ideas. Social classification of integration (referred to as
social integration) captures the dynamics of how the products are
used by people and how the context and content of communication
is intonated through vocalization and gestures for others to hear
and see.
Specifications: Based on a requirement that stipulates what is needed, specifications are defined as the detailed description of how to make
something according to a set of procedures, by employing certain
resources, by applying various standards and practices, and staying
within a set of guidelines, policies, and rules.
Stability: Stability is defined as the ability to apply restoring forces to mitigate events that trigger changes in the status quo. Stability is achievable through interactions in certain circumstances, that is, when
properties and traits are only sustainable.
Stakeholder: More general than key stakeholders, stakeholders are all those
people and their agency agreements or obligations to represent others and affect a performance related in any way to the lifecycle of a
product or service object or process.
Strategy: Strategy is a process that provides for achieving an intended result.
