BUILDING BLOCK - System Process

Description	A System Process is a Action Process that occurs inside Business Systems (software systems or hardware systems). Its performers can only be Business Software Systems or Concrete Hardware Systems. During its course of action, a System Process consumes or produces Data Assets: 1) It may memorize or access Data Assets in its Process Store. 2) It may receive Data Assets at its boundary: Consumed Outcome. 3) It may signal the production of Data Assets at its boundary: Delivered Outcome. The course of actions of a System Process is constrained by the application of rules ( System Rule Enforcement) that define what is allowed and not allowed to do.
