System Modeling Elements

Systems Modeling is the process that defines a high-level implementation of the architecture. Key elements are systems and their behaviors, which can be defined by system functions, event traces, or state traces. One goal of systems modeling is to map the logical elements and exchanges from the operational model to elements in the systems model. For more information, see the UPIA specification: http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg27019099&aid=1
