MARTE12_ — Specification of real time properties at "part with port" level

Currently HLAM::RtSpecification,RtFeature stereotypes allow modeling of real-time features for operations provided/required through ports at class level, while is not possible to use RtFeature/RtSpecifcation at "part with port" level. It would be useful to have this feature in order to be able differentiating quantitative attributes like deadline, period at part (i.e. instance) level in a composite structure diagram.

Enable to annotate the connector

If we add the possibility to annotate the parts with RtFeature, it may be ambiguous to distinguish the port of the part the RtFeature is applied on expect of we add an extra property to this stereotype to explicitly specify it when the stereotype is applied on a part. Consequently, we propose to enable to annotate the connector end linked to the port of the part. In that case, there is no ambiguity. Next revised text consists then of a description of all the subsequent changes needed to be done in the specification.
