09.Ports and Flows: 9.3.2.3 FlowPort, 9.3.2.7 Standard Port

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12222
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    Experience modelling a wide range of heterogeneous systems has proven that the representation of logical channels as information flows across connections between flowports nested within standard ports is a very useful idiom. It would help if this possibility is explicitly stated in both 9.3.2.3 FlowPort, 9.3.2.7 Standard Port, and illustrated in specification figures. Example: a software application acquires encoded signals representing physical positon and rotation via a high-level software API to a low-level A./D card in a computer. The software application is connected to an A/D module subject to a contract represented by an Interface provided by a standard port (subject ot a protocol). The flow of information corresponding to logical acquired channels can be well represented as flowports nested within the standard port of the A/D module. This example is illustrated in detail at: http://school.nomagic.com/node/194 It is marked as 'significant' because without this idiom of nesting flowports on standard ports it is impossible or very difficult to model a wide range or real-world systems.

Suggest permit UML2.1.1 Component for use as parasitic element wrapper Comp

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12163
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    Suggest permit UML2.1.1 Component for use as parasitic element wrapper Component, for nested <<requirement>>s, and for <<view>>s There are at least three applications of the UML2 Component which I consider very beneficial to practical UML-based systems engineering: 1st: I make extremely heavy use of the technique of stereotyped <<composition>>, <<inhertance>>, <<specialisation>> "wrapper" Components to graphically and logically organise model elements in BDDs (and in class diagrams) "parastically", i.e. without stealing ownership of the contained elements. Especially the <<composition>> wrapper Component is very powerful for diagramming and organising hierarchical assemblies of complex systems. In such cases the wrapping Component has Realizations to the wrapped elements, which can be further leveraged to trace the logical groupings. The recipe is consistent with the UML2.1.1 superstructure (although it is not supported in all UML tools). I contend the wrapper Component strategy should be made officially available to those SysML users who wish to use it (at least as a permitted option). 2nd:If one permits the UML2.1.1 Component the SysML <<requirement>> stereotype can be applied to Components so that Requirements can be graphically nested, which is far more graphically stable than just diagramming Class <<requirement>> Dependencies, and can be consistently applied in combination with the existing relationship stereotypes between SysML requirements. 3rd: Components are far better suited to creating orthogonal, parasitic <<views>> of packaged elements than the Package or Model, which both steal ownership.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Mon, 7 Jan 2008 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Suggest permit UML2.1.1 Component for use as parasitic element wrapper Component, for nested <<requirement>>s, and for <<view>>s Discussion:
    SysML currently lacks capability to represent system views that define parts or
    other substructure differently than other system views. As noted by the issue,
    any declaration of ownership or other other model structure in one view cannot
    conflict with such declarations in other views. The View stereotype of Package
    defined in Chapter 7, Model Elements, only selects elements for inclusion in any
    one view, and does not support additional structure which may differ across
    views. The proposal to consider Component as a basis for “orthogonal, parasitic
    <<views>>” is an interesting possibility, but goes beyond the scope of
    incremental change that can be considered in an RTF. Addition of such a fundamental capability to SysML, and a UML profile which bases this capability
    on UML Component, could be considered in response to an RFP for a major new
    version of SysML.

Section: 8.3.2.1

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12157
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: INCOSE ( Sanford Friedenthal)
  • Summary:

    Clarify that a binding connector can have nested connector ends like a regular connector. In particular, clarify that a binding connector can bind to parameters of a nested constraint property, without having to bind to an intermediate parameter of the outer constraint property. A binding connector can clearly bind to a nested value property using the dot notation or directly to a value property nested within parts.

10.3.2.2 ConstraintProperty

  • Key: SYSML11-86
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12130
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    10.3.2.2 ConstraintProperty: rewrite constraint [2] so does not refer to 'a SysML Block that is typed by a ConstraintBlock' SysML1.0, 10.3.2.2 ConstraintProperty: 'A constraint property is a property of any block that is typed by a constraint block. .. [2] The ConstraintProperty stereotype must be applied to any property of a SysML Block that is typed by a ConstraintBlock.' These may both be misinterpreted as applying to "any block that is typed by a constraint block" and "a SysML Block that is typed by a ConstraintBlock" rather than a constraint property typed by a constraint block. Rewrite so that the type condition clearly applies to the owned constraint property, not the owning block, thus: 'A constraint property is a property that is typed by a constraint block and is owned by a block. . [2] The ConstraintProperty stereotype must be applied to any property that is typed by a ConstraintBlock.' (Note that the first constraint already makes it clear that a constraint property is owned by a SysML Block: '[1] A property to which the ConstraintProperty stereotype is applied must be owned by a SysML Block'.)

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Wed, 2 Jan 2008 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    The ConstraintProperty stereotype expresses a condition that can be entirely derived
    from other information in the metamodel, in this case a property of a block that is
    typed by a ConstraintBlock. Property stereotypes are not defined for other categories
    of property, such as part, reference, or value properties.
    The constraints which currently appear under Section 10.3.2.2 ConstraintBlock, only
    serve to define the ConstraintProperty category. A definition of the term “constraint
    property” can be provided by language under 10.3.2.1 ConstraintBlock, similar to
    how categories of part, reference, and value properties are defined under Section
    8.3.2.2 Block.
    OMG Issue No: 12130 Disposition: Resolved
    SysML 1.4 RTF Report Page 25 of 341
    Discussion in previous RTF's suggested that a consistent policy be adopted for
    “calculated stereotypes” which only classify existing elements. Tools are still free to
    establish internal stereotypes or other means to carry such information, but since no
    other such calculated stereotypes remain in SysML, the consistent policy is to
    remove the ConstraintProperty stereotype from the normative specification. Impact
    on existing implementations should be minimal since they may still preserve such a
    stereotype if it is useful to their implementation, but this specific stereotype would no
    longer be required by the specification.
    In the stereotypes for measures of effectiveness defined in Table D.5, require that
    the base element for the «objectiveFunction» stereotype be a ConstraintBlock, as
    stated in the immediately preceding text: "The objective function is a stereotype of a
    ConstraintBlock and the measure of effectiveness is a stereotype of a block
    property."

10.3.2.2 ConstraintProperty

  • Summary:

    10.3.2.2 ConstraintProperty: add constraint that the AggregationKind must be 'composite' Add a constraint: [3] A property to which the ConstraintProperty stereotype is applied must have AggregationKind 'composite'

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Wed, 2 Jan 2008 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Issue 12130, “clarify constraint with OCL as well as text”, drops the
    ConstraintProperty stereotype altogether, after analysis of potential OCL
    indicated that the constraints added no new information but only served to define
    the constraint property category of block properties. A constraint specifying the
    AggregationKind of a constraint property (defined simply as any property of a
    block typed by a ConstraintBlock) is still appropriate to add, but can no longer
    placed under the ConstraintProperty stereotype as recommended by this issue.
    Instead, this constraint is being added under the ConstraintBlock stereotype
    under Section 8.3.2.1.

10 Constraint Blocks, 10.3.2.1 ConstraintBlock

  • Key: SYSML11-87
  • Legacy Issue Number: 12132
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    10 Constraint Blocks and 10.3.2.1 ConstraintBlock: parameters never clearly defined SysML1.0, 10 Constraint Blocks: 'A constraint block is defined by a keyword of «constraint» applied to a block definition. The properties of this block define the parameters of the constraint.' The above does not make clear that parameters are properties that can be typed by a ValueType (yet are not value properties), and it does not exclude nested contraints, which are properties typed by a <<ConstraintBlock>> (although other sentences elsewhere in the specification do make that clearer). Also, it is not clear whether a constraint parameter can be typed by a block (although there are no examples of such in the figures). Rewrite to specify what constraint parameters are: 'A constraint block is defined by a keyword of «constraint» applied to a block definition. The properties of this block typed by a ValueType, Unit, or DataType define the parameters of the constraint.' SysML1.0, 10.3.2.1 ConstraintBlock: '..

Rewrite to explain what constraint parameters are: '.. A constraint block typically defines one or more constraint parameters, which are bound to properties of other blocks in a surrounding context where the constraint is used. Constraint parameters are properties of a Constraint Block that are typed by either a ValueType, a Unit, or a DataType.' (NB: the resolutions suggested here depends on the unit, value, dimension metamodel being changed to admit the application of Unit as a type.) This matter could be greatly simplified by including a ConstraintParameter stereotype as a point of documentation and specification

  • Disposition Summary:

    SysML does not restrict the type of parameters to which constraint blocks may be
    applied. Even though the typical examples apply parametric constraints to value
    parameters, such as mathematical expressions that constrain numeric property
    values, constraint blocks may also be applied to structural properties such as parts or
    reference properties.
    Reword the explanatory sentence referenced by the issue from the final introduction
    paragraph to avoid suggesting that constraint parameters are the only kind of
    property a constraint block may contain. Also, avoid language that excludes recursive
    definition of constraint blocks, in which a nested constraint property references the
    same constraint block being defined.

  • Summary:

    I suggest general policy for SysML: prefer Pins over ObjectNodes in all possible cases Use of ObjectNodes is problematic for many reasons, including: - In UML2.1.1 ObjectNode is abstract ! Tool vendors are thus forced to choose an arbitrary concrete placeholder (like <<CentralBufferNode>>, which is invalid). Use of Pins avoid this problem. - ObjectNodes are graphically less stable than Pins, as on has to manage the placement of ObjectNodes between Actions and two paths. - It is easier to trace type compatibility of connections between between Pins representing typed Parameters than across two paths via an ObjectNode with no binding to Parameters. - The placement of ObjectNodes on swimlanes boundaries (like in Figure B.35) is contrived and graphically unstable. Experience has shown that Pins are far easier to read, verify, and manage, and they correspond well to the idioms of signal processing known to engineers. I recommend that they be used in ALL SysML diagrams wherever possible, and that this be adopted as SysML policy, to the advantage of systems engineers, educators, and tool vendors alike.

    Since SysML1.3 extends UML2.4.1 whose StandardProfileL2 library is published
    as a normative artifact, it is no longer necessary for SysML to define its own
    Trace stereotype; SysML can use StandardProfileL2::Trace instead. However,
    except for StandardProfileL2::Metaclass which is used to denote classes that are
    part of a metamodel, the SysML specification does not specifically identify any
    other stereotype from StandardProfileL2 in its scope.
    Within the strict definition of SysML where only the metaclasses in the
    UML4SysML subset are allowed, several stereotypes from StandardProfileL2
    cannot be used with SysML because they extend classes outside the
    UML4SysML subset. Thus, File, Document, Executable, Library, Script and
    Source are excluded because they extend Artifact, and Entity, Implement,
    Process, Service and Subsystem are excluded because they extend Component.

  • Summary:

    It is not enough to refer simply to (p.180): 'The «system» and «external» stereotypes are user defined, not specified in SysML,' Although already raised as Issue 12257, this new Issue submission (by a different submitter) makes the constructive suggestion that the 'user defined' stereotypes by defined in non-normative extension Section in the Annex C. It is not acceptable that a specification dedicated to systems engineering does not even have at least a well-defined non-normative definition of a <<system>> and <<system context>> ! These need to be upgraded to a non-normative Annex, and then introduced properly through the example. I see no reason why the figures should not use non-normative stereotypes as long as they are defined in an Annex and clearly. This is not the case for <<system context>>, <<system>>, <<external>>, <<domain>>, <<subsystem>>, yet these are truly crucial for even basic systems engineering, and the examples (which use them well) make little sense without them. There is a very nice summary of C.2 Requirements Diagram Extensions. and those requirement categories have proved very useful already. I have made a small summary and guide here: http://school.nomagic.com/node/396 Block extensions (non-normative) As recommended through SysML1.0 examples: * «system» top-level block to be used in a system context * «subsystem» grouping (usually physical) within a system * «external» outside the top-level system (yet affecting it) * «domain» provides a common context for a system and externals * «system context» a particular context for a system and externals Note my definitions for <<domain>> vs. <<system context>>. I suggest that at least «system context» should have a tag: system:<<system>>[1] <<domain>> could then extend <<system context>>. Visit also: http://school.nomagic.com/node/415

    Many forms of non-normative stereotypes could be developed to distinguish
    particular user modeling distinctions and practices. The issue itself notes possibly
    different stereotypes (such as «domain») than those used in the example. The
    availability of user-defined stereotypes to make such distinctions is clearly
    indicated by the example.Rather than incorporating a particular set of
    stereotypes directly in the SysML specification, the original submission
    deliberately left these open-ended to support possibly different modeling needs.
    Multiple sets of these stereotypes could be developed as part of separately
    distributed model libraries. Since the SysML specification is primarily concerned
    with the definition of the core SysML language, the omission of further detailed
    specification of user-model stereotypes is in keeping with the scoping decisions
    of the material to be maintained as a direct part of the SysML specification.

Section: 08 Blocks: suggest need Quantity stereotype and definition

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12219
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    stereotype for a Quantity is required. The current Unit, Value, Dimension system in SysML is incomplete without the crucial concept of Quantity. A physical or industrial Quantity is independent of a choice of unit and value as measured or stated. A Quantity has a Dimension, which can be fundamental (as in the SI system), or derived (according to industrial needs). A Quantity DOES NOT have a Unit, and it DOES NOT have a relationship to a given unit systems, although it may be allocated a default unit within a given system. The statement/measurement of a Quantity is given as a value relative to a chosen Unit. A Quantity is represented in SysML by a value property (typed currently by a ValueType, although a strong case can be made for typing by a value property directly by a Unit).

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Tue, 12 Feb 2008 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    This issue points out that Quantity is a distinct concept from either Unit or
    Dimension, even though SysML currently defines stereotypes only for Unit,
    Dimension, and a ValueType to type values that may have a unit and/or
    dimension.
    To resolve these issues, and to clarify terminology to be used in a consistent way
    not only for SysML, but for its alignment and close partnership with MARTE, an
    extensive effort has been made to model the underlying concepts as defined by
    the most recent and authoritative sources. A new Annex C.5 provides a
    comprehensive model, expressed in terms of SysML blocks, for the interrelated
    concepts pertaining to quantities, units of measure, conversions among units,
    and dimensional analysis within systems of quantities.
    The new Annex C.5 is non-normative and is intended to fill two basic roles. One
    is a detailed conceptual model of the quantities domain, that, with the aid of
    examples built as instances of the blocks in this model, thoroughly expresses
    and defines the concepts which the SysML quantities-related stereotypes were support for capturing and documenting systems of units and quantities
    comprehensively in a form suitable for dimensional analysis.
    SysML 1.0 deliberately provided only minimal stereotypes to identify and name
    units and/or dimensions associated with value types. It did not provide further
    support for defining and documenting them including their relationships to each
    other. Practical use of this modest capability has shown that comprehensive
    documentation of units and related concepts is an important requirement for
    quantity values to be defined unambiguously and used in consistent ways.
    Although Annex C.5 provides much more comprehensive support for defining
    and organizing unit and quantity-related concepts in reusable domain-specific
    libraries than SysML 1.0 did, minimal changes are made to the normative parts of
    SysML 1.x for incorporating the new concepts. The principal change is to
    rename the current SysML stereotype “Dimension” to “QuantityKind.” The
    current definition of Dimension in SysML 1.1 as ”a kind of quantity that may be
    stated by means of defined units,” closely matches the QuantityKind concept in
    Annex C.5, while Dimension is reserved for a more specialized relationship
    between quantity kinds in the context of a system of quantities. To align with this
    terminology and avoid any misleading implications of the current name, this
    resolution makes a single name change from the SysML 1.1 Dimension
    stereotype to QuantityKind and relaxes the restrictive constraints on Dimension
    that no longer apply to the QuantityKind concept.
    In addition to issue 12219, this resolution addresses two issues previously
    deferred in SysML 1.1:
    Issue 11600, “SysML dimensions,” pointed out inconsistencies in Unit,
    Dimension, and ValueType constraints and statements. The relaxation of
    constraints on Dimension (now renamed QuantityKind), Unit, and ValueType,
    and related changes to the text included in the resolution for this issue should
    resolve those inconsistencies. The resolution for Issue 11600 is therefore being
    merged into the resolution for this issue.
    Issue 12128, “8.3.2.9 Unit, 8.3.2.10 ValueType,” proposed a new metamodel
    based on a class hierarchy for Unit and ValueType to express “the underlying
    physical and mathematical principles of a dimensioned quantity represented by a
    value subject to chosen units.” Since the resolution for this issue includes an
    overall roadmap for the same goals and includes changes to Unit, ValueType,
    and QuantityKind with optional support for defining systems of units and
    quantities, the resolution of this issue encompasses a resolution for Issue 12128
    as well. Although the present resolution does not adopt the solution proposed in Issue 12128, the scope of issue 12219 subsumes that of 12128 and provides
    multiple ways to support the key concepts requested in 12128, as part of
    incremental and compatible changes for SysML 1.x.

08. Blocks: The 'values' compartment for a part Property in an IBD

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12363
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    There should be a definition of the role of the 'values' compartment for display of "current values" (for representing the entire value state of a system within a unique value context) and/or "deep configuration" values indepedendent of the PropertySpecificType concept, which may be seen as only one possible way of carrying values for assignment to the 'values' compartment in and IBD. Another strategy employing values in Slots of InstanceSpecifications that are related to targeted part Properties by a Property[*] path and then mapped to the targeted part Properties would achieve the same 'values' idiom in and IBD without indication of the implied subtype using [brackets]. When the 'values' are carried by redefined defaultValue : ValueSpecification[0.1] of redefined properties of an implied [PropertySpecificType] the bracket notation should still be used (inviting also indication of other redefinitions that can't be achieved using mapping of InstanceSpecifications, such as operation and constraint redefinitions). In particular, the following paragraph from p.53 (illustrated in Figure 8.11 - SUV EPA Fuel Economy Test) should be rewritten to admit other solutions: "In SysML, one approach is to capture system configurations by creating a context for a configuration in the form of a context block. The context block may capture a unique identity for the configuration, and utilizes parts and part-specific types to express property design values within the specification of a particular system configuration. Such a context block may contain a set of parts that represent the block instances in this system configuration, each containing specific values for each property. This technique also provides for configurations that reflect hierarchical system structures, where nested parts or other properties are assigned design values using property-specific types. The following example illustrates the approach.": While Figure 8.11 - SUV EPA Fuel Economy Test could remain with [PropertySpecificType] notation as an indication of that strategy, there should be an equivalent figure showing the same 'values' compartment and a similar top-level value context block, however without the [brackets] notation on part types, and without any reference to the PropertySpecificType solution. The title of Figure 8.11 should be clearly marked to indicated use of the PropertySpecificType solution and notation. Visit also: http://school.nomagic.com/node/331

08.Blocks: compartment for property-specific defaultValue should be renamed

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12361
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    As discussed at the OMG TM SysML RTF on Th 13Mar2008. The 'defaultValue' compartment should be renamed 'initialValue' (or perhaps 'initialValues'). The static (class level) default values of a given Block's properties may be overridden on instantiation and initialization of a part Property usage of that Block by the using context. The concept of "initial values" is more consistent with the programmatic practice, and it serves to highlight the difference between the UML2 defaultValue (of a Property within a class) and the (re)initialisation of a SysML value Property on usage of its Block as a part Property within a higher context, by assignment of a property-specific initial value. The label 'initial values' is also consistent with the UML2.1.1 specification description of the role of the defaultValue attribute of 7.2.44 Property: "If there is a default specified for a property, this default is evaluated when an instance of the property is created in the absence of a specific setting for the property or a constraint in the model that requires the property to have a specific value. The evaluated default then becomes the initial value (or values) of the property." Further, the concept of "initial values" emphasises the evolving value state of a system. The "initial value" is then merely a single value slice within a series of values states. Configuration is a special case of "initial value". Example: when a Car leaves a factory it is "initialised" to a luxury, sports, or family configuration. The concept of "initial value" compartment is complemented by the suggestion of a "current values" or simply "values" compartment for recording the value state of an evolving system. (See related issues submitted by Darren Kelly.) This suggestion promotes support of animation of SysML systems, and also encompasses aspects of static configuration consistently.

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12353
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    As discussed at the OMG TM SysML RTF on Th 13Mar2008. Assumes the property-specific 'defaultValue' compartment has been renamed to 'initialValue' (or perhaps 'initialValues'), as suggested in a previous issue submission. The case of a property-specific 'initialValues" compartment (as in Table 8.3 - Graphical nodes defined in Internal Block diagram) and also deeply nested "initial values" is well complemented by a "values" or "currentValues" compartment, as illustrated for the test results in Figure 8.11 - SUV EPA Fuel Economy Test. Together, the "initialValues" and "values" compartments illustrate usefully the evolution of the value state of a system used within an additional top-level "value slice" context. Tool vendors would be free to show one, both, or none of these two complementary compartment in part Properties of an IBD. This strategy promotes progress towards animation of systems, and also enables comparison of special configurations with an "initial" configuration/state. This suggestion represents a useful unification of concepts already present in the SysML specification.

  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    This issue was raised prior to the SysML 1.1 adoption of the "initialValues"
    compartment on properties on an ibd to specify context-specific initial property
    values, and the SysML 1.2 adoption of UML instance specifications to specify
    current or sample property values of specific block instances. Full support of
    UML instance specifications was chosen by SysML 1.2 to support more complete
    specification of instances, including links between instances, than a
    "currentValues" compartment could directly support. The suggested capability
    would be redundant with the capability already adopted by SysML 1.1 and
    SysML 1.2.

SysML needs instance specs

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12277
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    SysML needs instance specs capabilities for several reasons

    1) compatibility with UML and many users' expectations
    2) ability to do animation
    3) ability to show particular values at a time
    4) educational value / illustration value

    No need for a new diagram type, instances can appear on block and sequence diagrams.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    No practical substitute has been found for the use of instance specifications to
    specify examples, test cases, and other occurrences of blocks defined in SysML
    user models. Because SysML tool implementations are based on UML
    implementations, diagram support for instance specifications can be simply a
    matter of relaxing any constraints that would disable access to these elements
    from within a strict SysML subset. Instance specifications are already included in
    the SysML metamodel to support other elements of SysML such as the Unit
    stereotype and the initial values compartment.
    Because SysML already defines a taxonomy of its standard diagram types
    (summarized in Annex A and defined in the specification chapters), use of
    instance specifications in SysML must be identify a diagram context where they
    could appear. While they might appear in more than one diagram context, the
    simplest approach for uniformity in user models is to rely on a single context
    where they could be shown. Instead of defining an entirely new diagram context,
    the block definition diagram is a natural place to show either the definitions of
    blocks or instances specifications of these blocks, or any mixture of both. Since all the required metamodel elements for instance specifications are already
    present in SysML, the inclusion of their existing UML-based notation can be
    specified merely by including their diagram elements in the table of graphical
    elements which can be shown on block definition diagrams

  • Summary:

    Designating a Diagram Frame with a the name of a Stereotyped Model Element Type: Annex A (Diagrams) is not explicit on how to designate a diagram frame with a model element type that has a stereotype applied. If, for example, a diagram is intended to represent a package which has been stereotyped as a model library, one would expect the diagram header to reflect the model library as the designated model element type. The naming of diagram header is defined beginning on pg 173 in Annex A.1, and does not clarify this. The proposed resolution is to allow the name of the stereotype or the name of the base class to be used as the name of the model element type in the diagram header. For the previous example, the name of the model element type could either be [package] or [model library].

  • Summary:

    NAME - JUNCTION PORT Limited ability to model certain typs of physical interfaces in SysML such as mechanical, electrical, optical, and thermal, where the interface does not explicitly represent a flow or a service. An example is the mechanical interface between two parts at their mating surface. An approach was included in a recent paper called "Modeling Continuous System Dynamics in SysML" by Thomas Johnson, Jonathan Jobe, Christiaan Paredis, Roger Burkhart, Proceedings of the IMECE 2007, Nov ' 2007, which is available on the omg sysml website. A stereotype for a junction is introducted to model a mechanical interface (Flange in Fig 4). This concept can be applied more generally to model a mechanical interface. The proposal is to stereotype a port as a <<junction port>> that is typed by a Junction, which would also be a stereotype. The junction would have properties such as a position, and force, and include constraints on its properties such as conservation of mass flow, energy flow, etc. Several subclasses of junction can be defined for mechanical, electrical, thermal, optical, other electromagnetic interfaces, each of which may have different constraints applied. The concstraints can be used in parametrics.

The severity of this issue is deemed "Significant" because tool implementations that follow the figure versus ones that follow the section text (which has already occurred) will be incompatible. === Proposed Resolution: Change the multiplicity in Fig 8.5 from [2..*] to [1..*].

    On p.46 under 8.3.2.4 DistributedProperty it is stated that: '[1] The DistributedProperty stereotype may be applied only to properties of classifiers stereotyped by Block or ValueType.' There are however, as far as I can tell, no examples of a DistributedProperty or specialisation thereof applied to a value property that is not within a block. A candidate examp[le might include a variation on a Complex <<ValueType>> (cf. Figure 8.7 - Model Library for Blocks) with distributions applied to the real and imaginary parts (being represented by value properties, and thus admitting application of DistributedProperty stereotype, or substereotype).

  • Disposition Summary:

    Following is the discussion from a previous deferred resolution by the SysML 1.1

    There are many specialized cases of SysML diagram and model elements
    which are not currently covered either by usage examples in the
    specification chapters or in Annex B, Sample Problem. A candidate
    example as suggested, either by itself or included in other examples,
    could be considered in future revisions of the specification.
    This is one of many specialized usage cases not covered by examples in the
    SysML specification. Examples of DistributedProperty stereotypes applied to
    elements of a structured ValueType raise no inherent difficulties of notation or
    usage, and so do not cross a threshold of priority to be included in the
    specification itself. Such examples would be entirely appropriate to include in
    tutorial materials about the SysML language.

  • Source: No Magic, Inc. ( Darren Kelly)
  • Summary:

    On p.46 under 8.3.2.4 DistributedProperty it is stated that: '[1] The DistributedProperty stereotype may be applied only to properties of classifiers stereotyped by Block or ValueType.' It does not however state whether a DistributedProperty [Property] may only be applied to a value property (a "block property" typed by a ValueType or DataType) or other Property variations. All examples of the application of DistributedProperty show it applied to a value property. This has implications for sorting into block compartments in BDDs; if a DistributedProperty [Property] may only be applied to a value property then it will always be sorted into the 'values' compartment. It also has implications for aggregation; since a value property must have AggregationKind 'composite', a DistributedProperty will also have AggregationKind 'composite'.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Tue, 1 Apr 2008 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    As the issue states, examples of DistributedProperty are shown only for ValueType. Since all details of a probability distribution are left to a user-defined subtype of the DistributedProperty stereotype, however, such a stereotype could be applied to a stereotype typed by a block, such as a part or reference property. Such a stereotype could be defined, for example, to express probabilities of different cases of the block instances referenced by the property. For example, a distribution on the expected number of occurrences could be specified for a property with multiplicity greather than one.
    By not restricting the kind of property to which the DistributedProperty may be applied, the current text does not limit its application. A statement limiting it to a value property would contradict the lack of restriction intended by the current stereotype. The constraint does not refer to the type of the property itself but to the Block or ValueType which must own the property.
    The issue further states the implications that properties with a DistributedProperty stereotype could appear in different compartments or could have different values of AggregationKind. All these implications flow naturally from the lack of any restriction on the kind of property to which the stereotype can be applied.
    The Blocks chapter currently lacks any reference to Annex C.5, Distribution Extensions. Section 8.3.2.4 is the natural place in the Blocks chapter where such a reference could be added. This reference can also indicate that the annex defines distributions only on value properties, without suggesting that DistributedProperty stereotypes are necessarily limited to value properties. Such usage is currently the main expected use of DistributedProperty, but there is no need to restrict it from other possible uses. Moreover, it relies only on standard stereotype extension mechanisms, with no custom notation, so all its implications are those which flow naturally from an independent stereotype.

SysML unnecessarily restricts aggregation of datatypes

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12270
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    The 6th constraint on blocks is written as follows:

    [6] If the aggregation attribute of a property owned by a SysML block is equal to “composite” or “shared,” then the type of the property must be a block

    This constraint, as written, limits the use of solid or hollow diamond aggregation relationships from a block to "own" only other blocks.

    1) This is not what the original intent was. Apparently it was to prevent the use of aggregation relationships from a block to own dataTypes or valueTypes.
    As written, it is overly restrictive for its intent

    2) Even the intent is overly restrictive. UML modelers have (for years) modeled the relationship between a class and its attributes as an aggregation relationship.True, software developers have occasionally used the distinction between composite/shared as implementation clues which are unimportant to SysML concerns. However, even though the SysML distinction between an association, aggregation, or composition relationship to a property is irrelevant, the variation of notation allows modelers to use the style they are most familiar with. In addition, for models that move from SysML to UML and back, it allows the preservation of the software hints. It also leverages existing training and educational material on models.

    I recommend dropping this constraint completely. At the most, add a sentence in the description section explaining that using the composite/shared relationship to properties has no implementation meaning.

remove homemade stereotypes

  • Legacy Issue Number: 12257
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Northrop Grumman ( Mr. Darin J. Supel)
  • Summary:

    Don't the authors find it embarrassing that their solution to a sample problem isn't even compliant with their own specification? In section B.4.2.1, its states "The «system» and «external» stereotypes are user defined, not specified in SysML,...". I don't care what excuse the authors come up with, "user defined" stereotypes should not be used. The concept of "user defined" or just "making up" stereotypes is inconsistent with the concept of profiles. By standard, «system» and «external» must be in a profile since they are not standard UML keywords nor stereotypes. The authors need to remove homemade stereotypes from their example or add them to the profile. The removal of the homemade stereotypes will likely prove the current specification inadequate.

  • Summary:

    Suggest Unit and ValueType both extend abstract DimensionedType, and inherit a 'dimension' attribute This strategy provides a compact and elegant metamodel for units and values, and expresses well the underlying physical and mathematical principles of a dimensioned quantity represented by a value subject to chosen units. Value properties can then be sensibly typed by either a Unit or a ValueType. In the case where a ValueType has a Unit, the constraint still applies that the dimension of the ValueType must be the same as the dimension of the Unit.

A part or value property is always shown on an internal block diagram with a solid-outline box. A reference property is shown by a dashed-outline box, consistent with UML .." Rewrite to include assertion that value properties must always be owned with AggregationKind 'composite': ".. A part or value property has AggregationKind 'composite' and is always shown on an internal block diagram with a solid-outline box. A reference property has AggregationKind 'none' or 'shared' and is shown by a dashed-outline box, consistent with UML .." (Please note also that this case also illustrates why it would be useful to have a clear stereotypes like ValueProperty throughout the SysML specification, as it affords a canonical point of documentation for such assertions and constraints.)

    Requirements are abstract (isAbstract must be true). However name of the requirement are not displayed in italic as defined in UML notation

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Wed, 19 Sep 2007 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    (This discussion is elaborated from RTF Telecon Minutes 2008-02-13 &
    2008-02-13)
    This issue asks that the name of a requirement be in italics, in keeping with the rules on UML classes when isAbstract is True. This raises the following questions:
    1. Do requirements need to be abstract? In order to answer this, we need to address the following.
    2. Do requirements need subclasses? SysML does not currently support any form of subclassing of requirements.
    3. How robustly do requirements need to support properties? Are static properties necessary?
    One philosophy considers that if requirements had any features such as properties, they could be only static features that applied to the entire requirement class and not to any instance, which was part of the rationale for the isAbstract = True constraint.
    If static properties were supported on SysML requirements, along with adding specialization (subclassing) relationships between requirements, they could support a more complete form of property-based requirements in addition to their current support for text-based requirements. This would more closely parallel the requirements capability in STEP AP233, which has support for both text- and property-based requirements. It would also allow performance requirements to be stated by defined property values that could participate in parametrics or other analysis.
    In the original submission, however, the SysML model of requirements has been left deliberately simple without further detail for modeling the system itself, in part so SysML would more closely match the scope and structure of typical requirements specifications which have simple containment models of text-based statements. Associating properties with requirements relied on linking requirements to highly abstract models of system structure, built using SysML blocks, and providing a skeleton model of system structure to which properties would belong. This is appropriate because the properties are typically of the system, rather than of the requirement, e.g. "the car shall weigh less than 3000lb" implies that weight is a property of the car. This approach also provides a more extensive means to capture properties and other details of an evolving system very early in its specification process. This option remains available in SysML to model greater detail about requirements that need to go to a greater level of detail or precision.
    This remains a clear and consistent approach to SysML requirements, and should not be reconsidered at this time. The decision of this resolution is not to add any additional support for requirements subclassing or properties in this revision of SysML. Separate issues could be raised for future revisions of SysML to consider adding requirements subclassing or properties, but such an addition is outside the scope of this issue, which seeks only to make the font of requirement names consistent with the isAbstract attribute.
    Given the lack of subclassing for SysML requirements, the constraint on isAbstract has no added semantics and could be constrained either way. The main issue at this point is simply whether the names of requirements should be in italics or not. Forcing the names into italics, to be consistent with the current constraint, would change the notation defined by the current specification and used in all the current requirements examples. Removing the current constraint will allow tools to keep the name consistent with the setting of the isAbstract attribute. The same resolution should apply to Viewpoint in Chapter 7, which has the same constraint on the isAbstract attribute.

  • Summary:

    Mapping of PropertySpecificType to the UML metamodel requires further explanation Chapter 8 introduces the notion of property-specific type to assign values to parts inside an ibd. Section 8.3.1.1 defines a notation for property-specific types. Section 8.3.2.8 provides a definition of the <<propertySpecificType>> stereotype and gives elements on how this concept maps to the UML metamodel. However, this section does not explicitly define: 1) where are stored the actual values? One may understand that a default value of a property owned by a class, which is stereotyped as <<propertySpecificType>>, is considered as a property-specific value. This property-specific value may be considered as an instance of a property owned by the refrenced block. It is not clearly stated though. 2) how does a property-specific type relate to the referenced block ? In other words, if a class is stereotyped as <<propertySpecificType>>, which feature of this class points to the referenced block? We may need to add a paragraph in section 8.3.2.8 that provides answers to questions.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Thu, 18 Oct 2007 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    A property-specific type defines a new specialization of a single existing classifier, which was used to type a single property in the definition of a block which owns that property. The PropertySpecificType stereotype is used in the SysML metamodel to distinguish a classifier created by this mechanism from classifiers created by all other forms of user definitions.
    Within the property-specific type, new or redefined properties or other features such as operations may be defined. Within a property defined within a property-specific type, one option is to specify a default value. As the resolutions for issues 10473 and 11502 indicate, however, an initialValues compartment may be used instead of a property-specific type if all that is needed are context-specific values and not a more customized definition of the classifier that types a property.
    If the property-specific type is used to define a feature that carries its own default value, that default value is specific to that property. The default value of a property owned by a classifier carries its value by means of a UML ValueSpecification. It is not considered as an instance of the property, and the classifier provides only the definitions of its properties and not any instance to be referenced.
    The suggestion to add a paragraph to Section 8.3.2.8 to better explain the PropertySpecificType stereotype is valid, and Issue 11308 also requested somewhat less obscure explanation of the meaning of this stereotype. A full explanation of the representation of the metamodel representation of a property-specific type would benefit from examples of metaclass instances that could be represent specific example models, but the SysML specification does not currently include such metamodel instance examples. The revised text below is intended as an initial start toward a somewhat less opaque explanation, but falls short of full metamodel examples or other forms of explanations which could still be considered for future revisions of the spec.

    this about the interpretation of the the containment

    We are using MagicDraw 14.0 and SysML 1.1sp2.

    As soon as a containment relationship is created between two
    requirements the
    contained requirement is automatically relocated to the package
    of the container. This prevents distribution of requirements
    in different
    packages, in particular if a contained requirement belongs to
    a subsystem.
    I would like to properly distribute them.

    We have a requirement A which contains requirement B and C.
    A is a requirement on very high level of the system which is decomposed into
    requirements B and C on a subsystem level.
    To avoid to have all requirements together (because B and C
    belong to the
    subsystems) we want to put A, B and C in different packages
    but still have
    the containment relationship (as foreseen by the SysML spec.)
    that's why I think it is different from a package containment. They
    are not the same.

    Inconsistency among valuetype/unit/dimension

    A unit may (0..1) have a dimension.

    Constraints

    [1]If a value is present for the unit attribute, the dimension attribute must be equal to the dimension property of the referenced unit.

    This would mean that if the unit’s dimension is null, then the valutype’s dimension must also be null. This seems overly constraining.

    In 8.4.2, it says

    Because a unit already identifies the type of quantity, or dimension, that the unit measures, a value type only needs to identify the unit to identify the dimension as well.

    This statement seems to say the unit must have a dimension, and the valuetype’s dimension can be null even though the unit’s is not. This statement therefore disagrees with the Figure 8.4 and the constraint on page 49

    new units if necessary to carry different dimensions. The statement in Section 8.4.2 is in a usage example for the definition of value
    types with SI units. It is not intended to imply that a unit must have a dimension,
    just that if a unit does already identify a dimension, the dimension need not also
    be specified. This language could be further clarified if needed in future updates
    of the specification.

  • Source: Change Vision ( Michael Chonoles)
  • Summary:

    Apparently from 9.3.2.3 while you can type a flowport by a block, that block indicates the things that flow over the port.

    A more intuitive interpretation would be that the flowport is a block. Most flowports appear to be physical things that may convey blocks.

    Without the ability to indicate the physical thing that is the block, you lose the ability to specify it, reuse it, define it, etc.

    It’s much more intuitive to indicate that the flowport is a

    US-110voltACmale

    In addition, for example, in Figure B.19. There are flowpoints named

    Port:FuelTankFitting

    Port:ICEFuelFitting

    Based on section 9.3.2.3, these flowports convey Fittings, not Fuel.

    There needs to be a way, preferably graphically, that would indicate that the type of Flowport is a block, and in that block, allow for the definitiaojn of what flows.

    Ports are properties, so cannot be blocks, but the resolution of issue 13178
    clarifies that some ports represent a new, potentially physical, element in the
    system (full ports). These can be typed by blocks that have flow properties as
    well as other kinds of properties, as suggested above. Some ports do not
    represent a new element in the system (proxy ports). Flow specifications and
    non-atomic flow ports are deprecated.as redundant.

  • Summary:

    Address potential points of convergence between MARTE and SysML The MARTE profile supports modeling and analysis of real-time and embedded systems. Some of the concepts defined in this specification are applicable to Systems Engineering practices and can be of interest to SysML users. Early interactions between the SysML and MARTE partners have allowed to identify convergence points: - support for value expressions and constraint expressions using a dedicated language - formalisation of a time model, including the notion of clock to measure time - definition of metamodel elements for units and dimensions As discussion goes on, other convergence points may be identified and added to this list. Working on an alignment between MARTE and SysML has been identified as an important opportunity for both groups.

    RTF:
    Much useful interaction and review of material from both MARTE and
    SysML has occurred within the RTF, especially on topics such as
    definition of quantity types, models of time, the need for value
    specifications, and the need to align allocations. Some opportunities for
    alignment can continue to be addressed in resolutions to other, more
    specific issues. This more general issue, however, will also be deferred,
    so that many remaining opportunities for alignment can continue to be
    pursued. Some specific areas of possible alignment, such as support for
    expressions in the MARTE Value Specification Language (VSL), are
    premature until the MARTE specification has completed its finalization.
    Ongoing discussion and development of potential common elements is
    continuing to occur between the SysML and MARTE RTF's. This generic
    placeholder issue should now replaced by specific issues that address specific
    points of alignment between the two specifications.

    It’s not clear how to model complex ports that partake of both service and physical flow characteristics. For example, I could use communicate in morse code over a hydraulic line. This would be modeled normally as a standard (service) port, except for the medium.

    Or I can use in-band signaling over a communication line (as it used to be on a telephone lines).

    In such cases, I’d like to be able to attach interfaces (with the set of operations) to a flow port.

  • Summary:

    The text in 14.1 should briefly discuss that for System Engineers, run-time optionality is not the typical distinction for indentifying extensions. If we wanted to draw a flow chart, we would use an activity diagram.

    It is usually more relevant to identify as extensions those use cases that not are needed to reach the goal of the base use case. This allows the System Engineers to use the dependency graph among the use cases to help determine production/test/delivery order.

    This also makes it clear to the reviewer which features are considered optional and which are not. At the SE level, this is more important that than flagging those features that sometimes invoked and sometimes not invoked.

    Please clarify with this use at the SE level

  • Source: NIST ( Mr. Conrad Bock)
  • Summary:

    Behavioral flow ports. In Ports and Flows, FlowPort 9.3.2.5, Description, the fourth and sixth paragraph seem to give contradictory defintions of behavioral flow ports. The second refers to the UML isBehavior semantics. The fourth refers to "relaying" to properties or parameters, but doesn't explain what that means. If the two paragraphs are referring to the same thing, then presumably a block behavior is a classifier behavior, and since that behavior executes while the block instance exists, relaying to the parameters requires those parameter to be streaming, in the sense of CompleteActivities. The semantics of relaying properties is unrelated to UML behavior ports.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0b1 — Sat, 29 Jul 2006 04:00 GMT

    Change the following paragraph in section 9.3.2.3:
    "Flow ports relay items to/from the associated connector to/from properties of the owning block or parameters of the block behavior if the port is not connected to an internal link that may relay the items to an internal part of its owner. This means that every flow property contained within a flow port is bound to a property owned by the block or a parameter of the block behavior."
    To:
    "Flow ports relay items to their owning block or to a connector that connects them with their owner's internal parts (internal connector).
    The isBehavior attribute inherited from UML port is interpreted in the following way: if isBehavior is set to true, then the items are relayed to\from the owning block. More specifically, every flow property within the flow port is bound to a property owned by the port's owning block or to a parameter of its behavior. If isBehavior is set to false, then the flow port must be connected to an internal connector which in turn related the items via the port. The need for isBehavior is mainly to allow specification of internal parts relaying items to their containing part via flow ports"
    Add the following constraint:
    [5] If a flow port is not connected to an internal part then isBehavior should be set to true.

    The referenced section no longer exists in SysML 1.0. The BlockProperty stereotype was removed and its descriptive material incorporated in 8.3.2.2 Block. The previous text referenced by issue is no longer included in the resulting text. The referenced paragraph in the Final Adopted Specification, ptc/06-05-04, previously read:
    Parts may be used to show all the components from which a larger system is built. Consistent with UML, however, SysML currently does not provide any means to indicate whether all the parts which make up a larger system are either shown on a particular diagram or contained within a model. Various forms of diagram or model annotation, such as a Diagram Description note as shown in Annex A, may be used to communicate completeness of a diagram or model to a user.
    Since this text no longer exists in the 1.0 specification, this issue no longer applies. If there is a need to define a concept of Bill of Material properties within SysML, either by description or by additional metamodel elements, a new issue requesting changes to the current text could be raised and considered within future revisions of SysML.

  • Disposition Summary:

    Discussion:
    Related to issue 11501 (resolved in RTF 1.1), and 12139, making the spec
    consistent. The arrowhead must always represent the “AllocatedTo” end of
    the dependency, since any other direction would be counterintuitive, and the
    derived property of the model element at the arrowhead end must be
    “AllocatedFrom XXX”, where XXX is the model element at the other end of the
    allocation dependency. Similar concept to “Trace” relationship - see issue 10343.
    Which end of the dependency is client and which is supplier is unimportant in
    practice, and invisible to the user. Allocation is based on Abstraction (UML 2.1.2
    Superstructure Section 7.3.1), which accommodates various directionality and
    mappings. Linguistic merits of directionality may be debated, but at this point
    Table 15.1 and Section 15.2.2 are consistent and no further changes are
    required.

  • Summary:

    In Figure 17.4.2’s explanation, the Block stereotype is described as having no properties. While the diagram does not show any properties, the block stereotype has an “isEncapsulated” property (defined elsewhere in the spec).

    This is very confusing. The text should be corrected to indicate that all properties of the Block stereotype (e.g., “isEncapsultated), even if not indicated on the diagram, would be inherited by the stereotypes «system» and «context» An alternative fix that also corrected the diagram would perhaps be better but more effort.

Constraint parameter stereotype

  • Key: SYSML11-32
  • Legacy Issue Number: 10524
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: ( Fraser Chadburn)
  • Summary:

    Can anybody clarify the definition of a constraint parameter for me?

    To quote the SysML spec:
    [1]The type of a constraint property must be a constraint block.

    So a constraint parameter is not a constraint property typed by a value type or something like that...

    To quote again:

    "A constraint block is defined by a keyword of «constraint» applied to a block definition. The properties of this block define the parameters of the constraint."

    So does this mean that a parameter is a block property (or an ordinary property)?

    Would it make sense to add a <<constraint parameter>> stereotype to constraint blocks? Has this been suggested or does it make sense?

Chapter 8, Blocks, instance specifications for default values

  • Key: SYSML11-25
  • Legacy Issue Number: 10473
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mr. Roger Burkhart)
  • Summary:

    The exclusion of UML concrete syntax for Instance Specifications has resulted in the inability to assign default values to properties of blocks using anything other than simple text strings for value properties. Consider reintroducing UML concrete syntax for UML InstanceSpecification into one or more SysML diagram types so that more complex default values can be assigned.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0b1 — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Change the specification of the defaultValue compartment to base its internal metamodel representation on UML InstanceValue, and to decouple the representation of context-specific property values entirely from property-specific types. Also rename the compartment to "initialValues" to more accurately indicate the ability of these compartments to provide values which are assigned in a local property-specific context to override of any existing default or initial values defined on underlying blocks that may type a property.
    As background, this issue was previously deferred by the FTF with the following discussion comments:
    The defaultValue compartment on an internal block diagram does provide at least one available option for assigning default values to structured values, as discussed in the subsection "Default value compartment" under 8.3.1.3 Internal Block Diagram. Creating a graphical compartment on an internal block diagram to assign values to properties defined on a block definition diagram may be more cumbersome than a textual syntax, but tools may be able to streamline the linkage to the default value for usability. In particular, the use of a "structure" compartment on a block definition would allow the default value to be shown next to a properties compartment where a property is defined.
    Other work in OMG is currently underway that may define a standardized form of textual syntax for value specifications. SysML could consider such a textual syntax for property values in future versions.
    The scope of this resolution is to clarify the graphical syntax and internal metamodel for the "initialValues" compartment that may be shown on properties on an internal block diagram. Other issues, such as 12277 and 12353, request additional support for display of context-specific values using forms of concrete syntax for UML InstanceSpecification or else additional forms of compartments on properties on an ibd. These issues are being deferred, but can be reconsidered in the future following this initial step to clarify the initialValues compartment, as included in the scope of this resolution. Other forms of textual syntax for complex values, such as the MARTE Value Specification Language (VSL), could also be considered by future issue resolutions following the current RTF.
    Issue 11502, "PropertySpecificType concept is highly ineffective and suboptimal," has its own resolution of Closed, no change, but this resolution is based partly on the ability of the initialValues compartment to remove one of the major reasons why property-specific types might need to be used. Instead, use of the more complicated property-specific type mechanism can be reserved for cases in which new or redefined features are really needed in a new specialized property-specific type, rather than merely an assignment of local values. See the resolution for Issue 11502 for more information.
    Issues 12361, "defaultValue should be renamed initialValue(s)," and 12363, "Decouple 'values' compartment for a part Property in an IBD from PropertySpecificType" record some of the history of working discussions by the RTF on the defaultValue compartment issue, as well as additional perspective. All specific changes to the specification are being consolidated under this issue, so these two other issues are being closed as having their resolutions merged under this one.

Section: 6.1 Levels of Formalism

  • Key: SYSML11-24
  • Legacy Issue Number: 10472
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Thematix Partners LLC ( Mr. Roger Burkhart)
  • Summary:

    Add a brief statement to Section 6.1, Levels of Formalism, to clarify that SysML reuses UML instance semantics, adapted as necessary for description of systems. A brief statement of UML instance semantics can be found in the UML Superstructure specification (ptc/06-04-02) under 6.4.2, Semantic Levels and Naming, under the paragraph labeled "Instance level."

  • Reported: SysML 1.0b1 — Mon, 27 Nov 2006 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Following is the paragraph labed "Instance level," which now appears in the
    section numbered 6.3.2 in the UML 2.4 Superstructure Specification:
    Instance level – These are the things that models represent at runtime.
    They don’t appear in models directly (except very occasionally as detailed
    examples), but they are necessary to explain the semantics of what
    models mean. These classes do not appear at all in the UML2 metamodel
    or in UML models, but they underlie the meaning of models. We provide a
    brief runtime metamodel in the Common Behavior chapter, but we do not
    formally define the semantics of UML using the runtime metamodel. Such
    a formal definition would be a major amount of work.
    Since SysML already includes the semantics of existing UML elements, except
    as specifically changed or extended by SysML, this existing language (which has
    not changed since UML 2.1) applies to SysML.
    SysML already includes the following statement in Section 6.1, which leaves
    open the option to consider further semantics in the future, but in the meantime
    leaves them open just as does UML:
    SysML is specified using a combination of UML modeling techniques and
    precise natural language to balance rigor andunderstandability. Use of
    more formal constraints and semantics may be applied in future versions
    to further increase the precision of the language.
    Given the generality of both the UML and SysML statements about formal
    semantics, no change is required to the current version of the SysML
    specification. A new issue could be raised if future versions of UML adopt a
    formal specification of semantics that would also need to be adapted or reflected
    by SysML, but such an issue should be raised against specific future changes to
    UML.

  • Summary:

    FlowPorts can be typed by (p64): · Block · DataType · FlowSpecification · Signal · ValueType FlowProperties (which are owned by FlowSpecifications) can be typed by (p65): · Block · DataType · Signal · ValueType Yet ItemFlows can only be typed by (p66): · Block · ValueType Since FlowPorts and associated Flow Specifications define “what can flow” between the block and its environment. Whereas ItemFlows specify “what does flow” in a specific usage context. It therefore proposed that the ItemFlows constraint section is updated to include DataType and Signal, as well Block and ValueType (i.e. same as FlowProperties). Note: It is assumed that having an ItemFlow typed by a flow specification would make no sense, since the item properties have direction on them that would have to be interpreted in relation to the direction of the item flow arrow.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0b1 — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 04:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    Any value assigned to a property must lie within the values having non-zero
    probabilities as defined by an applied DistributedProperty stereotype. These
    constraint semantics are inherent in the concept of a probability distribution, and
    apply to the default or initial value along with all other values.
    How any further patterns of probabilities can expected to be observed, however,
    is currently unspecified by SysML. For example, the probabilities might be seen
    across the property values of different instances, or within a succession of values
    carried by a single instance. A specific user model must specify any such further
    interpretation of its applied property value distributions.
    Until or unless the SysML specification addresses more specific cases of how a
    user model must interpret its property value distributions, it is premature to
    preclude any interpretation that a model might apply. Different interpretations
    may be appropriate for different models, each of which may document any
    specific timing or scope for the values which may occur under the probability
    distribution.
    As referenced by section 8.3.2.3, some initial examples of distributed property
    stereotype definitions and their application in a user model are already provided

  • Summary:

    There are at least 4 kinds of properties of blocks: parts, references, values, constraints Constraint properties do not take part in the assembly hierarchy of blocks. Although they are of type Block via ConstraintBlock and have AggregationKind 'composite' they should not be considered "parts".

SysML1.0, 8.3.2.2 Block, Description: 'SysML establishes three standard classifications of properties belonging to a SysML Block. A property typed by a SysML Block that has composite aggregation is classifed as a part property. A property typed by a Block that does not have composite aggregation is classified as a reference property. A property typed by a UML DataType or SysML ValueType is classified as a value property. Part, reference, and value properties may be shown in block definition compartments with the labels “parts,” “references,” and “values” respectively.

    Rewrite to include constraint properties as a fourth kind of property of a SysML Block, and to refer to Chapter 9 and Chapter 10 for more detail about ports and constraint properties. Include properties owned by a SysML ValueType within these classifications, so that uniform rules will apply to them on internal block diagrams. Change the aggregation attribute of a value property to composite aggregation to be consistent with their solid box notation on an internal block diagram. Update constraint [6] on Block to reflect the composite aggregation of a value property. Fix an incorrect internal section reference and correct minor spelling corrections.

Allocation Callout to Item Flow is Ambiguous

  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Raytheon ( Rick Steiner)
  • Summary:

    An allocation callout, when anchored to an Item Flow on an Internal Block Diagram, is unclear. If the Item Flow has an Item Property, then the allocation could be to the Item Flow itself, the Item Property, or the Item Property type (Conveyed Classifier). Recommendation: develop a compact graphical notation to distinguish the target of the allocation when a callout is used with any graphical depiction of an Item Flow.

    Per resolution on issue #13945, an item flow supports only one item property, not

  • Key: SYSML11-77
  • Legacy Issue Number: 11819
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: oose Innovative Informatik eG ( Mr. Tim Weilkiens)
  • Summary:

    Please provide a notation variant that allows to show block stereotypes at property elements typed by those blocks in an ibd. Similar to the notation variant that CallBehaviorActions can show the stereotypes of the called Behavior element. For example a common approach is to define stereotypes for discipline specific elements like <<hardware>>, <<software>>, <<mechanic>>, and so on. It is important to see the information in a bdd and ibd. It is circumstantial and superfluous to define two stereotypes for blocks and properties.

  • Reported: SysML 1.0 — Fri, 14 Dec 2007 05:00 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — SysML 1.1
  • Disposition Summary:

    The internal block diagram already allows any compartment of a block or value type that types a property to be shown within the property box on the diagram. Section 8.3.1.2 Internal Block Diagram, subsection "Compartments on internal properties" specifies, "SysML permits any property shown on an internal block diagram to also show compartments within the property box. These compartments may be given standard or user-customized labels just as on block definitions."
    A valid use of this option is to show a stereotype compartment, with or without any stereotype properties, as one of the compartments on the property box. This provides an existing graphical option to display the stereotype for a block or value type that types a property on an ibd.
    While the specifications places no restrictions on the compartments from the property type that may be shown on the property, in practice this could lead to confusion or ambiguity as to whether a compartment shown belongs to the property or to the type. The potential for such ambiguity is even higher if the property were to specify a property-specific type, since then the compartment could be used to define or redefine new features specific to the definition of the property itself.
    To remove any ambiguity for a compartment shown on a property, a graphical convention can be established to clearly mark and indicate a compartment whose contents are entirely the contents of the type of the property.
    Such a convention takes advantage of the customizability of compartment labels, and their definition as purely notational options on diagrams which are not defined formally anywhere in the SysML metamodel, is to use a special form of compartment label for these "type-derived" labels.
    For consistency with other aspects of ibd syntax, in which a ":" character separates a property name from its type, or which can precede the type when no property is shown, the recommended convention is to precede the "type-derived" compartments shown on an ibd with a colon.
    The revised text below establishes the colon prefix convention on a compartment label for any compartment which only displays contents of its type.
    Issue 11496, "It is not allowed in UML to display stereotypes of related elements," also noted the use of "secondary references" on both activities and blocks, including allocations on parts. Chapter 11 Activities already provides specific diagram extensions to display stereotypes of a defining element on a CallBehaviorAction, ObjectNode, or parameter. The colon prefix can also be used on an "allocatedFrom" or "allocatedTo" compartment label, as defined in Chapter 15 Allocations, to distinguish an allocation already established on the type of property from the property itself. At least some of the cases itemized by Issue 11496 are covered either by the explicit diagram extensions on activities or the use of compartments from a property type on an ibd.

  • Summary:

    The verify relationship currently constraints one of its ends to be a test case. There have been several cases where this is too restrictive. In particular, sometimes it is useful to verify a requirement via analysis and leverage parametrics. In this case, it one may want to verify the reuqirement using a constraint block, block, or constraint property. The proposal is to delete the constraint that a requirement can only be verified with a test case which reads as follows: [2]The client must be an element stereotyped by «testCase» or one of the «testCase» subtypes. In addition, the description should be changed as follows: From: A Verify relationship is a dependency between a requirement and a test case that can determine whether a system fulfills the requirement. As with other dependencies, the arrow direction points from the (client) test case to the (supplier) requirement. To: A Verify relationship is a dependency between a requirement and a test case or other model element that can determine whether a system fulfills the requirement. As with other dependencies, the arrow direction points from the (client) to the (supplier) requirement.

  • Summary:

    I am trying to support PropertySpecificType in our SysML Toolkit and I hit some road block while trying to implement the same. I have had some discussion with Sandy last week regarding the same but I quiet don’t get how this can be supported without some additional constructs to the PropertySpecificType stereotype. Below are the lists of questions I have: When a default value is provided for the property type, then a type derived from the original type should be created and its default value should be set as the new deafult value of the property. The property type should be displayed in square brackets which would indicated that the type is a specialized type. There can be more than one specialization of the same class, in such case there is no construct to store which specialization is associated with which property? This additional construct is very much needed because there is no way to know whether the specialization is created by SysML for PropertySpecificType or whether it is created by user? What happens in case of multi-level hierarchy? (If Class2 inherits Class1, and property1 is typed by Class2 & the default value at property1 is changed the resultant propertyspecifictype is Class3. Should the tool show property1:[Class2] or property1:[Class1]). Why is the PropertySpecificType extends UML2::Classifier and not UML2:Type? PropertySpecificType was introduced to provide specific default values to properties in Internal Block Diagram. Why not use the InstanceSpecification from UML2? Below Diagram shows how this is supported in UML2.
