Device Infrastructure Viewpoint
The Device infrastructure viewpoint contains the software and hardware infrastructure elements within a physical device, such as component physical devices or system software (e.g., operating systems, databases, and middleware).
Concepts and Relations
The ArchiMate concepts used in a Device infrastructure viewpoint diagram and their relations are described below.
This viewpoint describes a Device.
A
Device is defined as a physical computational resource upon which artifacts may be deployed for execution.
An
Infrastructure interface is defined as a point of access where the functionality offered by a node can be accessed by other nodes and application components.
A
Communication path is defined as a link between two or more nodes, through which these nodes can exchange information.
An
Infrastructure service is defined as an externally visible unit of functionality, provided by one or more nodes, exposed through well-defined interfaces, and meaningful to the environment.
A
System software represents a software environment for specific types of components and objects that are deployed using artifacts
An
Artifact is defined as a physical piece of information that is used or produced in a software development process, or by deployment and operation of a system.
