Interfaces (Systems Engineering)

Interfaces refer to the connections where system components interact, exchange information, or deliver services. They describe how elements collaborate, defining flows and dependencies that ensure proper integration. Interfaces can exist between hardware, software, or mixed systems, enabling seamless communication and interoperability.

 

By clearly specifying boundaries and expected interactions, interfaces reduce ambiguity, support consistency, and play a crucial role in systems engineering, where integration and collaboration across diverse components are essential.
