  Formulations of open physical systems within the framework of Non-Equilibrium
Reversible/Irreversible Coupling (associated with the acronym "GENERIC") is
related in this work with state-space realizations that are given as boundary
port-Hamiltonian systems. This reformulation is carried out explicitly by
splitting the dynamics of the system into a reversible contribution given by a
Poisson bracket and an irreversible contribution given by a symmetric
dissipation bracket, and is facilitated by the introduction of an exergy-like
potential.
