SysFEAT - Systemic Framework for Enterprise Architecture & Transformation

CLASS OF CLASS OF INDIVIDUAL - Application Component

Description

An Application Component is a functionnal unit of software (java class, COBOL Program, Batch) that is a consistent, indivisible unit of processing of an Application producing and consuming its Information Outcome Events though APIs (Application Interface).

a) Application Components are assembled and orchestrated in Applications.

b) Application Components cannot be directly deployed to Computing Systems: they need to be organized in Deployable Application Packages.

Application Component is a Micro enterprise asset that sits at the lowest level of Business Software System decomposition.

Example: the "Salary and Wage Calculation" component is an Application Component that is part of the "Payroll" Application.

Functional Domain: Application Functional Architecture

The Application Functional Architecture domain is used to describe the functional structure and behavior of Business Software Systems.
