A generic conceptual model and actual systems of IC-Card system for model-based systems engineering

In this paper, a generic conceptual model and actual systems of Japan's IC-Card system for model-based systems engineering are presented and discussed. First, a generic conceptual model of the IC-Card system is discussed. Then Japans various actual IC-Card systems (Electronic Money, Traffic IC-Card, and Mobile IC-Card) are studied using the generic conceptual model of the IC-Card system. This paper also specifies how Japans various actual IC-Card systems differ from the generic conceptual model using the model-based approach to systems engineering.
