Page 36, sec 2.5.1: the terminilogy for containment does not align with UML

  • Key: NEG-8
  • Legacy Issue Number: 3468
  • Status: open  
  • Source: David Frankel Consulting ( David Frankel)
  • Summary:

    Page 36, sec 2.5.1: the terminilogy for containment does not align with
    UML, which would be a good idea to do and to explicitly say that you are
    doing. Weak aggregationi in UML is "shared" aggregation, which doesn't
    simply mean that there is no lifecycle dependency. Weak aggregation is not
    the same as no aggregation. Weak aggregation means that an aggregee
    instance can be aggregated by more than one aggregate at the same time, and
    that the aggregee doesn't go away until the last owning aggregate goes
    away. That's why it's called "shared" aggregation. Containment is not a
    formally specified notion in UML, and composition is strong aggregation.
    So the three possibilities for aggregation semantics are:
    1) no aggregation
    2) shared (weak) aggregation
    3) composite (strong) aggregation

  • Summary:

    Page 93, IDL for Collaboration: The attribute timeout_list is actually not
    a list but, rather, a single instance of the struct TimeoutSequence. The
    text on page 94 refers to this as a sequence of TimeoutStructure values,
    but it's not. Furthermore, the struct TimeoutSequence IDL is repeated at
    the bottom of page 94 and it is different there, and has a member of type
    ControlKey which is not a defined type!

  • Summary:

    Page 90, 3rd pagragraph, 1st sentence reads: "It is important to note that
    the bilateral negotiation state transition model is simply an example of a
    collaborative process model." I doubt it is your intention, but this could
    be interpreted as backing away from requiring, as a conformance point,
    support of the bilateral model.
    Page 90 and others: The state charts are somewhat non-standard. The box
    with the triangular end for a state transition is not standard UML as far
    as I know.

    I presume its MemberKind could be one of the subsidiary MemberKinds of the
    MemberKind referenced by the constraint.

    implications? If so, this would be a model, not a template.
