"Systems Engineering with SysML/UML: Modeling, Analysis, Design"

For example, we modeled the
actor customer as a user of our system. Would you have chosen the same actor? Or
perhaps opted rather for the card reader ? Or the customer card ? ( Figure 2.19 ).
The customer is just the one who holds the card in front of the card reader,
and the card reader is just the mediator between the customer card and the onboard
computer control.

52 CHAPTER 2 The Pragmatic SYSMOD Approach
And what about the processors in the card reader, or the cable between the
card reader and the on-board computer, or ??¦ ; are they all actors?
There can be good reasons to model each of the solutions mentioned above. You
can surely imagine the kind of workshops where all these are discussed.
