Issue 14915: Relationship between MARTE allocations, UML deployment and analysis profiles need to be clarified (marte-rtf)
Source: THALES (Mr. Sebastien Demathieu, sebastien.demathieu(at)thalesgroup.com)
Nature: Clarification
Severity: Critical
Summary: UML introduce deployment concepts. MARTE introduces a notion of allocation that seem to encompass deployment-related notions (as stated in the specification). How these concepts relate to analysis attributes is left undefined in the specification at the moment. Depending on the examples one can have a look at, MARTE allocations and UML deployments seem to be used in a similar way (see Section 16.3.3 and Section 17.4). However, nothing is formally stated. Clarify whether MARTE allocations / UML deployment have the same semantics w.r.t. analysis, or not. And, if possible, make the connection with the related issue on host stereotype properties.

December 31, 2009: received issue
Discussion: 
There is already a short discussion on the relationship between MARTE
allocation and UML deployment in the specification. The issuer wanted to go
more by extending the Deployment metaclass. This seems to restrict a bit the
usage of the allocation stereotype and poses compatibility problems with SysML.
This issue needs more discussion to be addressed properly.
Disposition: Transferred to RTF 1.2
