Answer to Question 1

It is easy to confuse structural with static. After all, this book discusses behavioral and dynamic modeling, so static modeling should not be a far-fetched conclusion. But whether static modeling is meaningful or not, structural modeling is not static: it models not only the building blocks of an entity, but also the relationships among them. And in a system, closed or open, software or otherwise, relationships are never static.

Answer to Question 2

Applications, which perform specific tasks; Information technology, which consists of processing and control units, communication and data management systems; People who use the system or provide it with services; and Procedures that decide how the information system is operated and by whom.
