BUILDING BLOCK - Resource Action Process

Description	Abstract Concept A Resource Action Process is a Action Process that describes a typical course of action intended to produce and react to Resource Outcome Events, through the involvement of Resource Agents (Participant Resource Agent). During its course of action, a Resource Action Process consumes or produces Resource Assets. 1) It may memorize or access Resource Assets to and from its Process Stores. 2) It may receive Resource Assets at its boundary: Resource Outcome Consumptions. 3) It may signal the production of Resource Assets at its boundary: Resource Outcome Productions. The course of actions of an Resource Action Process is constrained by the application of rules ( Resource Rule Enforcement) that define what is allowed and not allowed to do. Within SysFEAT, we can examine Resource Action Processes from two distinct perspectives: a) An operations business perspective is offered by Business Processes. c) An automated viewpoint is provided by System Processes. Operational Role of Resource Action Process: a Resource Action Process is either a Technology Process or a Business Resource Process
