TENA’s Technical Driving Requirements
Interoperability
- The characteristic of a suite of independently-developed components, applications, or systems that implies that they can work together, as part of some business process, to achieve the goals defined by a user or users.
Reusability
- The characteristic of a given component, application, or system that implies that it can be used in arrangements, configurations, or in enterprises beyond those for which it was originally designed.
Composability
- The ability to rapidly assemble, initialize, test, and execute a system from members of a pool of reusable, interoperable elements.
- Composability can occur at any scale—reusable components can be combined to create an application, reusable applications can be combined to create a system, and reusable systems can be combined to create an enterprise.
