Terminological Clarification of the Concept of the System
System’s Conception Eckehard Schnieder; Lars Schnieder Institute for Traffic Safety and Automation Engineering Technical University Braunschweig Extended Abstract The term system is currently used in a inflationary fashion, calling for a methodical approach in order to make it more precise and less ambiguous – the basis for this will be laid out in this paper. Based on a solid linguistic foundation the term system will be explained and formalized. The aspects relevant for automation engineering will be chosen from a variety of aspects and applied to an abstract and generic model of a (technical) system. The identification of properties and characteristics of (technical) systems and their inherent relations serve as a basis for stabilization of an unambiguous terminology. Suitable means of description can be employed to formalize the characteristics of the rather vaguely substantiated term ‘system’. |
