Association DMN

Association in DMN (Decision Model and Notation) refers to the relationship between different elements of a decision model, where one element is associated or linked to another element. Association can be used to represent various types of relationships, such as dependency, influence, or dependency.

For example, in a decision model where a decision is dependent on certain data inputs, the association might be illustrated through a line connecting the decision to the data input. The line would represent the association between the decision and the data input, since the decision is dependent on the input.

System Operation

Functionality that the Business Object executes upon request from other System Operations or other systems

System Software : ArchiMate

System software is a specialization of a node that is used to model the software environment in which artifacts run. This can be, for example, an operating system, a JEE application server, a database system, or a workflow engine. Also, system software can be used to represent, for example, communication middle-ware. Usually, system software is combined with a device representing the hardware environment to form a general node.

A device or system software can be assigned to other system software; e.g., to model different layers of software running on top of each other. System software can be assigned to artifacts, to model that these artifacts are deployed on that software. System software can realize other system software. A node can be composed of system software.

The name of system software should preferably be a noun referring to the type of execution environment; e.g., “JEE server”. System software may be composed of other system software; e.g., an operating system containing a database.

Table Example

A Table Example is used to give examples to Data Entities.

Technique

A Technique is used to link a description or a multi media object showing the use of a specific technique to produce a result.

Information about a certain way to produce a deliverable

Technology

Technology refers to the systems, tools, and platforms that are used to support and facilitate activities or processes. Technology can be represented in a variety of diagrams, for example, in a customer journey map, technology might refer to the systems and platforms used by customers to interact with a company, such as a website, mobile app, or chatbot, while in a process map, technology might refer to the systems used to automate and optimize different stages of a process, such as workflow management software or artificial intelligence tools.

Technology Collaboration : ArchiMate

A technology collaboration specifies which nodes cooperate to perform some task. The collaborative behavior, including, for example, the communication pattern of these nodes, is modeled by a technology interaction. A technology collaboration typically models a logical or temporary collaboration of nodes, and does not exist as a separate entity in the enterprise.

Technology collaboration is a specialization of node, and aggregates two or more (cooperating) nodes. A technology collaboration is an active structure element that may be assigned to one or more technology interactions or other technology internal behavior elements, which model the associated behavior. A technology interface may serve a technology collaboration, and a technology collaboration may be composed of technology interfaces. The name of a technology collaboration should preferably be a noun.

Technology Event : ArchiMate

Technology functions and other technology behavior may be triggered or interrupted by a technology event. Also, technology functions may raise events that trigger other infrastructure behavior. Unlike processes, functions, and interactions, an event is instantaneous: it does not have duration. Events may originate from the environment of the organization, but also internal events may occur generated by, for example, other devices within the organization.

A technology event may have a time attribute that denotes the moment or moments at which the event happens. For example, this can be used to model time schedules; e.g., to model an event that triggers a recurring infrastructure function such as making a daily backup.

A technology event may trigger or be triggered (raised) by a technology function, process, or interaction. A technology event may access a data object and may be composed of other technology events. The name of a technology event should preferably be a verb in the perfect tense; e.g., “message received”.

Technology Function : ArchiMate

A technology function describes the internal behavior of a node; for the user of a node that performs a technology function, this function is invisible. If its behavior is exposed externally, this is done through one or more technology services. A technology function abstracts from the way it is implemented. Only the necessary behavior is specified.

A technology function may realize technology services. Technology services of other technology functions may serve technology functions. A technology function may access technology objects. A node may be assigned to a technology function (which means that the node performs the technology function). The name of a technology function should preferably be a verb ending with “ing”.
