Computer Device
A
Computer Device is a
Computing Device which provides services directly to the end-user.
Computer Devices can host data stores and run
Application code.
Examples: workstation, laptop computer, smartphone.

Computer Server
-
Computing Device
A Computing Device is a physical or virtual computer that can host and run software code. Together with their Deployable Application Packages, they provide Information Outcomes.
-
Concrete Hardware System
A
Concrete Hardware System is a man made tangible artifact which exposes
Hardware Capability(ies) and can produce and react to
Physical Outcome Events.
Examples:
- Connected Drone with Online Payment App.
- 3D printer.
- Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs)
- Connected fridge providing an ordering Functionality and of course a freezing Hardware Capability.
- Production equipment in an assembly line (metal forging machine)
- Car

Deployed Hardware System
An
Deployed Hardware System is a man made tangible artifact which exposes
Physical Resource Capability(ies) and can produce
Physical Outcome Events.
An Deployed Hardware System can embed Computing Systems. Together with its embedded Computing Systems, an Deployed Hardware System can also deliver Information Outcomes.
Examples:
- The Connected Drone number 234 with Online Payment App.
- The 3D printer in Paris Fablab.
- Robert's automated guided vehicles (AGVs)
- The Production equipment of the assembly line in the factory of Shenzhen.

Hardware Equipment
A Hardware Equipments are tangible assets (e.g., machinery, tools, IT hardware, vehicles, or production systems) used to execute enterprise operations, deliver services, or produce goods.
Examples:
- Fridge compressor
- Car Engine
-
Network Interface
A Network Interface is a set of rules and conventions that govern the communication between devices on a Computer Network.
-
Networking System
Networking System is Technology Operating Asset that provides networking capabilites through the use of Network Interfaces.
-
Physical Outcome Event
A Physical Outcome Event is a Business Outcome Event that signals the happening of a change in the state of a Physical Business Agent, produced by a Physical Business Agent for the benefits of an internal or external consumer.
-
Physical Service Interface
A Physical Service Interface is a Business Service Interface that describes a typical course of interactions intended to produce and consume Physical Outcome Events through the involvement of Concrete Hardware Systems.
