Abstract
The purposes of this chapter are to explain the nature of a technical artefact, and to introduce social-cyber-physical-systems (SCPS) as the particular instance of artefacts considered. An introduction to human-artefact relations in SCPS is given. Finally, the overall view that technical artefacts are parts of action systems is presented. This view is foundational for the approach to functional modeling taken in the book.
