FAMILY OF CONCEPTS - Systemic Levels of Operating Asset


Categorized Class  Operating Asset
An  Operating Asset is a Functional Asset that describes the way Outcome Events are produced and consumed: how (Behaviors) and by whom (Agents).
 Operating Assets fulfill Capability(ies) (Fulfilled Capability).
As any  Functional Architecture Asset Operating Assets are subject to Policy Conformances. In addition, they define Rule Enforcements to indicate how Policy Conformances are met.

DISJOINT SUBTYPES of 'Operating Asset'


NameDescription
  Macro Operating Asset
A  type of  Macro Operating Asset is an Operating Asset which corresponds to a large-scale enterprise assets. This level of analysis is concerned with understanding how large enterprise systems operate and how they interact with each other.
Examples of macro-level systems:
. Type of Legal entities
. System of Systems
  Mezzo Operating Asset
A type of  Mezzo Operating Asset at is the intermediate level between the foundational Micro Operating Assets and the overarching Macro Operating Assets.
At the mezzo level, aggregates or collections of Micro Operating Assets come together to form larger entities or sub-systems.
Boundaries and signals at the mezzo level arise from the interactions and emergent behaviors of micro-level components, yet they also have their own distinct properties and rules not strictly reducible to the micro behaviors.
Emergence at the mezzo level can be analyzed:
1) Bottom-up: Looking at how interactions and behaviors at the micro level give rise to emergent phenomena, structures, or behaviors at the mezzo level.
2)Top-down: Understanding how meso-level structures influence and constrain the behaviors and interactions of the micro-level components within them.
  Micro Operating Asset
A type of  Micro Operating Asset represents the foundational level at which a system's structure and interactions can be analyzed without further subdivision into smaller constituent parts.
 Micro Operating Assets set the stage for how higher-level behaviors emerge. As one moves up to higher hierarchical levels (mezzo, macro, etc.), the signals and boundaries at each of those levels are influenced by the foundational interactions set at the micro level.
