Summary
=======

What we have so far:

1. Meta Model
-------------

2. Function Specification
-------------------------

Contains the definition of a single executable element:

- interface
- inputs/outputs
- signals
- parameters
- constraints
- implementation-independent behavior
- metadata

Conceptually: Function specification file = "Single function definition"

   Examples:

   | VehicleSpeed
   | WheelSpeedFusion
   | BatterySOC
   | NavigationRoutePlanner

3. Runtime Specification (not yet defined)
------------------------------------------

Contains the system composition:

- instantiated functions
- dependencies
- execution sequence
- data flow
- event flow
- deployment hints

Conceptually: Runtime = "How do the functions work together?"

  Examples:

  runtime includes

  functions:

  - VehicleSpeed
  - WheelSpeedFusion

  connections:

  - from: WheelSpeedFusion.Speed
  - to: VehicleSpeed.SpeedInput

  dependencies:

  - VehicleSpeed depends_on WheelSpeedFusion
