Abstract:
Recently, the concept of an integrated function modelling IFM framework has been proposed, which aims at integrating different perspectives prominent in function modelling across disciples. It provides a clearly structured, DSM-based modelling approach. In this article, function modelling with the framework is illustrated based on an exemplary system. Furthermore, the potentials for function analysis that result from the framework’s matrix-based setup are explored. Finally, the paper discusses the implications for application of the framework in practice.
