1. Integrating production system elements and work functions still needs time to evolve. 2. The cells along the diagonal are typically used to represent the system elements . 3. CORBA allows system elements to be normalized into a single cohesive system model. 4. The compiler combines system elements into a compile time system. 5. So I guess there's an operating system element at play? 6. Data designs and procedures are further grouped to form system elements of a CMS-2 program. 7. Different system elements will have differing service lifetimes. 8. As more system elements arrive, they automatically and seamlessly join the MEADS network and build out capability. 9. RAMP models reliability using failure probability distributions for system elements , as well as accounting for common mode failures. 10. Through reassigning workload, MEADS demonstrated ability to maintain defense capabilities if any system element is lost or fails.
