FAMILY OF CONCEPTS - Structural Partition of Operating Asset Type
| Categorized Class | 
Operating Asset TypeAn Operating Asset Type is a Functional Asset that describes the way Outcome Events are produced and consumed: how (Behavior Types) and by whom (Agent Types). Operating Asset Types fulfill Capability(ies) (Fulfilled Capability). As any Functional Architecture Asset, Operating Asset Types are subject to Policy Conformances. In addition, they define Rule Enforcements to indicate how Policy Conformances are met. |

DISJOINT SUBTYPES of 'Operating Asset Type'
| Name | Description |

|
Agent Type |
An Agent Type is an Operating Asset Type which is able to participate actively to Behavior Types, to produce and react to Outcome Events. 1. Agent Types participate to Action Process Typees (Active Participant) and/or conduct Action Process Typees (Performed Process). 2. Agent Types participate to Interaction Process Type (Scenario Participant) describing how they interact with other Agent Types. These actions and interactions define Agent Types boundaries described by Service Interfaces. |

Behavior Type |
A Behavior Type is an Operating Asset Type that describes any action or reaction of an Agent Type to external or internal Behavioral Events. Behavior Types include Action Process Typees (action), Interaction Process Types (stories) or interactions (Service Interface). The course of actions of a Behavior Type is constrained ( Rule Enforcement) by the application of Behavioral Rules that define what is allowed and not allowed to do. |
