Reconciling a Component and Process View

Abstract

In many cases we need to represent on the same abstraction level not only system components but also processes within the system, and if for both representation different frameworks are used, the system model becomes hard to read and to understand. We suggest a solution how to cover this gap and to reconcile component and process views on system representation: a formal framework that gives the advantage of solving design problems for large-scale component systems.

“…This theory was further extended to have a formal model of processes that is compatible with the component/ data flow view, cf. [70,71]. In many cases, it is beneficial to specify on the same abstraction level not only system components but also processes within the system, however, if we have to apply different frameworks to analyse both views, the system model becomes hard to read and to understand.…”
