Structure Concepts
1. Application component: self-contained part of a 
system that encapsulates its contents and exposes 
its functionality through a set of interfaces.
2. Application collaboration: a collective of 
application components, which perform application 
interactions.
3. Application interface: defines the set of 
operations and events that are provided by the 
component, or those that are required from the 
environment.
4. Data object: a coherent, self-contained piece of 
information suitable for automated processing.

Behavior Concepts
1. Application service: an externally visible unit of 
functionality, provided by one or more components, 
exposed through well-defined interfaces, and 
meaningful to the environment.
2. Application function: the internal automated 
behavior that can be performed by an application
3. Application interaction: the behaviour of a 
collaboration of two or more application 
components.
4. Application process: a sequence of application 
behaviors that achieves a specific outcome.
5. Application event: application behavior element 
that denotes a state change

Business-Application Alignment
 The Application layer supports the business layer:
1. Application services are used by business behavior.
2. Application interfaces are used by business actors and roles.
 The Application layer implements the business layer:
3. Data objects realize business objects.
– A data object is an electronic representation of a business object.

 Schedule Pizza execution (FC)
 Update Pizza execution status (FC)
 Create invoice (FC)
 Create Customer (FC)
 Update Customer Data (FC)
 Get Customer Data (I, FC, WS)
 Update Order (FC)

Client (FC), WebService (WS).
– The following applications :
 Customer Management System
 Catalog and order Management system 
 Financial system, with an accounting module and a treasury module
 Model in Archimate :
– The processes and the application services
– The application components in which the services are realized (identifying the relevant services
