Dominance Sample Clauses

Dominance. Prior to formally presenting the definition of dominance, a scenario is presented in the context of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM)/supplier chain in order to provide an understanding of when the property is relevant: C 1) a contract C = (A, G) is decomposed into a set of contracts {Ci}N where each contract i and an interface specification Xi is handed from the OEM to either a development team within the organization or to a supplier; 2) each development team or supplier develops an element Ei = (Xi, Bi) that meets the condition (i) of Corollary 1 with respect to Ci; and 3) the OEM integrates the set of elements Ei with each other to form an element E that meets the condition (i) of Corollary 1 with respect to C. As expressed in phase (3), the overall intent is to obtain an element E that meets the condition (i) of Corollary 1 with respect to C. In order to achieve this, i=1 the intent is hence to decompose the contract C into the set {Ci}N such that if each Ei meets the condition (i) of Corollary 1 with respect to Ci, then E meets the condition (i) of Corollary 1 with respect to C. If such a property holds, then C is said to dominate the set of contracts {Ci}N . i=1 i=1 i=1 i=1
