Issue 6647: UML2 Super/Composite Classes (uml2-superstructure-ftf)
Source: The MathWorks (Mr. Alan Moore, alan.moore(at)mathworks.co.uk)
Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: pg 168: The provided and required interfaces completely characterize any
interaction that may occur between a classifier and its
environment at a port.


If the type of a port is a class, perhaps with superclasses, then I don't
see how the above statement can be true.
Resolution: see above
Revised Text: 
Actions taken:
December 2, 2003: received issue
March 8, 2005: closed issue
Discussion: 
The issue is correct in pointing out that the term “completely characterizes” is rather
sweeping. Change the first sentence of the last paragraph of p.168 of adtf/03-08-02 to:
“The provided and required interfaces completely characterize any interaction that
may occur between a classifier and its environment at a port with respect to the
data communicated at this port and the behaviors that may be invoked through
this port. The interfaces do not necessarily establish the exact sequences of
interactions across the port.”
