Using Structure-Behavior Coalescence Method for Systems Definition 2.0
share
Systems definition is an artifact created by humans to describe what a system is. A system has been defined, by systems definition 1.0, hopefully to be an integrated whole, embodied in its components, their interrelationships with each other and the environment, and the principles and guidelines governing its design and evolution. This systems definition 1.0 defining the system possesses one cardinal deficiency. The deficiency comes from that it does not describe the integration of systems structure and systems behavior. Structure-behavior coalescence (SBC) architecture provides an elegant way to integrate the structure and behavior of a system. A system is therefore redefined, by systems definition 2.0, truly to be an integrated whole, using the SBC architecture, embodied in its assembled components, their interactions with each other and the environment, and the principles and guidelines governing its design and evolution. Since systems definition 2.0 describes the integration of systems structure and systems behavior, definitely it is able to form an integrated whole of a system. In this situation, systems definition 2.0 is fully capable of defining a system.
