Abstract
The systems theory provides definitions for abstract views of any aspects of a system. A system is an arrangement of objects, i.e., elements that interact and that are marked off from the environment by the systems boundary [Rie78, Pat82]. The figures that cross the boundary in either direction are the system’s input and output (Figure 1).
