UML PROFILE FOR SAVECCM - Research

SaveUML profile
Constraints:
[1] BindPortExist: Checks if the port stated in "Bind" tagged value exists (checks that
the component owns the port with the stated name).
[2] BindPortType: Trigger ports, data output ports and combined output ports are not
allowed to be bound.
[3] PropertyConnectors: see the SaveAttribute constraint [1].
[4] PropertyNumberOfStereotypes: see the SaveAssembly constraint [6].
6.3.3.4 SaveClock
This stereotype is intended for modelling the SaveCCM Clock component.
Since Clock is a kind of a component, the Component metaclass is used for the
base classifier.
Base classifier: Component
Tagged values: Defined tagged values are equivalent to the properties existing
in SaveCCM, and those are:
• Body : String
• Jitter : Float
• Period : Float
Constraints:
[1] ClockAttributes: UML enables a Component to contain several types of attributes:
ports, attributes and operations. SaveClock component may own ports and quality
attributes (properties with the SaveAttribute stereotype applied). Other attributes
are not allowed.
[2] ClockPorts: According to SaveCCM specification, a Clock component has only one
port – output trigger port. This constraint checks if that condition is fulfilled.
[3] ComponentConnections: see the SaveAssembly constraint [2].
[4] ComponentInterfaces: It is not allowed to use interfaces to define provisions and
requirements of a component. Provisions and requirements are determined by the
ports owned by the component as it is defined in SaveCCM.
[5] ComponentPackagedElements: This component is not allowed to have an internal
structure (neither using packaged elements neither using parts).
[6] NumberOfStereotypes: see the SaveAssembly constraint [6].
6.3.3.5 SaveCombinedInPort
UML port corresponds to a SaveCCM port semantically because they both
represent components communication points. In both cases, ports encapsulate all
interaction between the components environment and its internal structure. In
SaveCCM model ports are connected to each other directly by the use of
