UML PROFILE FOR SAVECCM - Research

SaveUML profile
[6] PortsInterfaces: It is not allowed to attach interfaces to ports. Provisions and
requirements of a component are not defined by interfaces attached to it or to its
ports. Provisions and requirements are determined by the ports owned by the
component as it is defined in SaveCCM.
[7] PortsSetPort: This constraint checks the condition that the port can be a set port
only if its owner component is a switch component (component with SaveSwitch
stereotype applied). Otherwise, the "SetPort" tagged value must be set to ‘false’.
[8] SetPortExist: In case a "SetPort" is ‘true’, this constraint checks if the port is used in
a switch condition, otherwise it can not be a set port.
6.3.3.6 SaveCombinedOutPort
This stereotype is used for modelling SaveCCM combined out ports. The
rationale behind using UML Port as the base classifier for the SaveCCM
combined output port element is the same as with the SaveCombinedInPort (see
section 6.3.3.5).
Base classifier: Port
Tagged values:
• Type : String. A type of data.
• Value : String. Initial value of data (optionally).
• External : String. A label mapping the port to external entity, in case a port is an
external port.
Constraints:
[1] NumberOfStereotypes: see the SaveAssembly constraint [6].
[2] OwnerComponentStereotype: see the SaveCombinedInPort constraint [2].
[3] PortConnections: see the SaveCombinedInPort constraint [3].
[4] PortConnectionStereotype: To ensure that connections used for connecting the
port to other ports have the appropriate stereotype applied, this constraint checks if
the connections have one of three allowed stereotypes; SaveConnection,
SaveDelegation or SaveToComplex.
[5] PortsExternal: see the 6.3.3.5SaveCombinedInPort constraint [5].
[6] PortsInterfaces: see the SaveCombinedInPort constraint [6].
6.3.3.7 SaveComplexConnection
A complex connection in the SaveCCM domain is an upgrade of the simple
connection. A complex connection can have a model defining its behaviour, the
same as with a component. Due this characteristic, it is reasonable to use the
Component as a base classifier for the complex connection and to allow any
number of models to be attached to it. This component will however have no ports
