Issue 5070: Definition of 'duration' in TimedAction is confusing (uml-scheduling-ftf)
Source: Universidad Politecnica de Madrid (Prof. Miguel de Miguel, mmiguel(at)dit.upm.es)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: 9. TimedAction defines ‘duration’ as “the time interval during which the action is occurring”. This creates confusion when is reused in SAction because I suppose that duration defines the amount of time that preemptable resources will be used in the execution of the action. ‘duration’ definitions looks like the definition of “Worst-case Completion Time” (“the overall time taken to execute the action, including all overheads”). ‘duration’ includes the overheads too? When the action is blocked or preempted, is it occurring?

Resolution: Closed, no change

Discussion: 
Duration in SAaction reflects computation, not blocking or preemption.
