'''Fundamental Modeling Concepts''' ('''FMC''') provide a framework to describe software-intensive systems. It strongly emphasizes the communication about software-intensive systems by using a [[Formal semantics of programming languages|semi-formal]] graphical notation that can easily be understood.

=== Compositional Structure Diagram ===

[[File:FMCBlockDiagram.png|thumb|right|Example of FMC Compositional Structure Diagram]]

Compositional structure diagrams depict the static structure of a system, and the relationships between system components. System components can be active or passive. '''Agents''' are active system components. They perform activities in the system. '''Storages''' and '''channels''' are passive components which store or transmit information.

Line 37:

=== Value Range Structure Diagram ===

Value range structure diagrams (also known as FMC Entity Relationship Diagrams) can be compared with the [[Entity-relationship model]].

:"[They] are used to depict value range structures or topics as mathematical structures. Value range structures describe observable values at locations within the system whereas topic diagrams allow a much wider usage in order to cover all correlations between interesting points." <ref name="fmc-modeling.org"/>
