A Device is a physical computational resource, such as a piece of hardware (a desktop computer, processor, or server), or a human work unit (a department or team). A device is commonly composed of other devices. Composition may be modeled by placing the contained device in the node icon representing the containing device.
A Device can be specified by changing its property values in the Device Specification window. Each property is described in the description area on this window.
The Device Device Specification window consists of the following specific specification panes:
- Nested Nodes: lists nodes defined (nested) within the device.
- Deployed Artifacts: an artifact or artifact instance that has been deployed to a deployment target.
You can format the Device symbol properties in the Symbol Properties dialog.
