MARTE — Support for flows in activities

Subject: Support for flows in activities. Details: The current specification provides a limited support for flow in activity diagrams. The GCM chapter introduces the FlowSendAction stereotype. However, there is no way to indicate the pins used to define the data to send. At the same time, there is no action (such as FlowReceiveAction) to indicate how to receive a flow. It seems that activity parameters are an interesing alternative to specify incoming and outgoing flows in activity diagrams (SysML follows this approach). Proposed resolution: Remove the FlowSendAction stereotype and provide a support for BOTH incoming and outgoing flows through activity parameters (maybe a stereotype would need to be defined here).
