SYSMLR — reception compartment not addressed

The UML 2.5 specification, section 9.2.4, states in part,
“The compartment named “receptions” contains notation for Receptions. The receptions compartment is mandatory and always appears below the operations compartment, if it is not suppressed. The receptions compartment is used for Classifiers that own Receptions, including Class (see 11.4).”

The SysML specification is silent regarding this compartment in blocks. I suggest that the compartment be added to the list of compartments and if the label is going to be optional like the other block compartments, then this be explicitly stated in section 8.3 as something that is not included as part of UML4SYSL.

Proposal: Reception compartment not addressed

The SysML specification does not mention a notation for receptions. The metaclass Reception is part of UML4SysML (see table 4.2) and in the context of ports receptions are mentioned.

The notation for receptions like it is defined in the UML 2.5 specification should be added to the SysML specification.
