Glossary
In this glossary, you will find a set of terms we have defined and reused extensively in our white papers. We have tried to use as few terms as possible. When several terms relate to the same concept, we define only one term and add the others as synonyms.
- Software Service
Function Software.
A Software Service is a callable piece of software defined by an Interface (how to call it) and an implementation (how it works) that the caller does not need to know.
A Software Service is the smallest Component.
A Software Service can use other Software Services (call or inheritance): building a good structure of Services is the most difficult Task when designing an IT System.
Most of the concepts developped on this website are further developped in our white papers. You can download any white paper freely. Please do not re-use without explicit permission.
