An  Individual Physical Resource Agent is any identifiable and tangible  Individual Resource Agent that exists in the physical universe that can cast a shadow.

It is characterized by its ability to occupy space, possess mass, and interact with other  Individual Physical Resource Agents through fundamental forces.  Individual Physical Resource Agents are subject to the laws of physics and can be observed, measured, and analyzed using scientific methods.

An  Intangible Resource Agent is a Resource Agent whose instances do not have physical substance.
Example:

- Software System Category;

- Social groups,

A  Physical Resource Agent is any identifiable and tangible Resource Agent that exists in the physical universe that can cast a shadow.

It is characterized by its ability to occupy space, possess mass, and interact with other  Physical Resource Agents through fundamental forces.  Physical Resource Agents are subject to the laws of physics and can be observed, measured, and analyzed using scientific methods.

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.

A  Resource Agent is an entity type which instance belongs to the physical space, and comprises Human Agent Categorys, Hardware System Categorys, Software System Categorys and  Natural Resource Categorys.

 Resource Agent is the supertype of all types of Agents that produce and react to  Resource Outcome Events.

This includes:

1)  Business Agents which represent  physical resources that produce and react to Business Outcome Events of the enterprise.

2)  Technology Systems which represents enabling systems that produce and react to  Technology Outcome Events.

  Resource Capability belongs to the Resource Conceptualization Levels as opposed to  Business Capability that belongs to the Conceptual .

Resource Operating Asset is the supertype of all Capabilitys that are fufilled by Resource Operating Assets.

is a Capability that is fullfiled by benefits to Customers (internal or external) of the enterprise. It expresses an ability to produce  Resource Outcome Events.

This includes; among others,  Functionality,  Skill and  Technology Capability.

A  Resource Interaction Process is a story that describes how the components of a Resource Agent interacts to produce and consume  Resource Outcome Events.

This includes:

1) A course of events represented by  Resource Object Flows depicting the steps towards the delivery of expected  Resource Outcome Events.

2) Interacting Resource Agents who participate to the story.

 Resource Operating Assets comprise all resources which contributes to the production and consumption of Business Outcome Events of the enterprise.

 Resource Operating Assets are subject to  Operational Risks.

An  Resource Operating Ecosystem is an operating context in which a Resource Agent exists or lives for a specific purpose.

For instance, the operating context of an enterprise includes its  Business Partners (customers and suppliers).

A  Resource Operating Environment Scenario is a story that describes how a Resource Agent interacts with its partners ( Partner Resource Agent) to achieve Business Outcome Events in a specific  Resource Operating Environment.

This includes:

1) A course of events represented by  Resource Object Flows depicting the story towards the delivery of expected Business Outcome Events.

2) Interacting partners who participate to the story in the considered  Resource Operating Environment.
