Basic Components

If a component has no further inner components, it is a basic component. Basic components are basic building blocks for the realisation of components. They are an abstraction of component implementations (source code). Therefore they contain a SEFF (cf. section 3.2.9) to describe their internal behaviour. As basic components are implementation types too, they have mandatory provided and required roles, like implementation types have.
