Issues Descriptions

The annotation system is too flexible

  • Key: UCM-14
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Annotations can be associated with several kinds of entity: component types, methods, attributes, data types, ports, atomic component implementations, composite component implementations. It is impossible, when declaring an annotation definition, to specify which kind of entity it must be associated with. Consequently, annotations might be associated in an irrelevant manner.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Mon, 5 Sep 2016 12:42 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    won't fix annotations

    There is no simple way to specify which entity an annotation definition can apply to. Therefore, it is wise not to change the current situation: UCM tools may define extensions to the annotation system.

Interfaces should be able to have annotation

  • Key: UCM-16
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Concrete data types can have annotations. Interface cannot: only methods and attributes can. It would be interesting to enable annotations in interfaces, just in case.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Mon, 5 Sep 2016 15:36 GMT
  • Disposition: Closed; No Change — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    class Interface already inherits from IAnnotable through IConcreteTypeDeclaration

    Interfaces are already annotable.

  • Updated: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 15:14 GMT

use the RFC 2119 vocabulary

  • Key: UCM-71
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Many sentences are not assertive enough: they use words like "can". The document should use "shall", "shall not", "may", "should" and "should not".

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Sat, 22 Apr 2017 20:32 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    use the RFC 2119 vocabulary and be more specific

    many occurrences of “can”, “will”, “could”, etc. are used in the normative specification and are thus too vague. They must be replaced by accurate words like “may”, “shall”, “shall not”, “should”, “should not”

update the IDL and C++ sections to match the new metamodel, programming model and xml names

  • Key: UCM-69

  • Summary:

    Some XML sample codes are obsolete in the IDL and C++ section because some names changed. Some mapping explanations must be updated as well.

improve the class diagram of reziable data type

  • Key: UCM-67
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    This diagram illustrates the definitions of NativeType, Sequence and StringType. It is difficult to read. It may be better to have several diagrams instead.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 15:17 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    replace the standard data type diagram by dedicated diagrams for string type, native type and sequence

    Instead of having a unique and complex class diagram for resizable data types, create three diagrams for string type, native type and sequence.

Rewrite the references section

  • Key: UCM-65
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    The “References” section mentions too many documents that only inspired UCM, and are not required for its application. The section should therefore be simplified to only mention relevant documents.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Thu, 20 Apr 2017 13:54 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Rewrite the references section

    only mention IDL, XML, IDL to C++ and C++ as normative references.

Harmonization with IDL4.1 and XTYPES1.2

  • Key: UCM-61
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: Real-Time Innovations ( Dr. Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Ph.D.)
  • Summary:

    To the extent possible it is desirable to harmonize the type annotations and use between IDL4, XTYPES and UCM.
    The general concept is that IDL4 defines the general syntax and common annotations, and other specifications like XTYPES and UCM will "refer" to IDL4 and add annotations as needed for concepts not present in IDL4.

    The latest revision of XTYPES (version 1.2) ptc/17-03-06 already follows this approach.

    So it would be desirable that IDL4 does the same. In the cases where the annotation is not present in IDL4 but is present in XTYPES it is also desirable that UCM "reuses/references" the annotation defined in XTYPES. That way if this annotation is eventually moved to IDL4 we do not have a conflict.

    This means several annotations currently used in UCM should be changed as listed below:

    • @IndexType should be removed. Instead refer to @bit_bound (see IDL41 section 8.3.4.1)
    • @DefaultValue should be removed. Instead refer to @value (see IDL 41 section 8.3.1.5).
    • IDL4 annotations are all lower case. So @Range (used in UCM) should be @range.
    • IDL4 uses snake_case for builtin annotations names. So does XTYPES for the new annotations it introduces. It would be good if UCM follows the same convention instead of using CamelCase. For example @MemoryFootprint should be @memory_footprint and so on.
    • The syntax to define new annotations in IDL4 uses the "@annotation" keyword in lower case. It also does not use the "attribute" keyword anymore. UCM should do the same. So the declaration of MemoryFootprint in 14.4.1.1 should be changed to:
      @annotation memory_footprint {
          unsigned long max; 
      }
      
  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Wed, 29 Mar 2017 17:21 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Align annotations with the existing IDL annotations

    use snake_case instead of CamelCase. Reuse IDL standard annotation instead of inventing new, redundant ones.

  • Updated: Mon, 16 Oct 2017 15:14 GMT

Create a section for the IDL equivalent syntax

  • Key: UCM-56
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Some UCM aspects (e.g. component types) have an IDL equivalent. There should be a section describing how to use IDL to specify UCM.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:10 GMT

Improve technical policies for ports

  • Key: UCM-48
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Technical policy definitions specify to what kind of element they apply: only components, ports of components, or either case. There is then two metaclasses ComponentTechnicalPolicy and ComponentPortTechnicalPolicy to distinguish between the two situations. This approach creates two problems:
    1- it is impossible to specify that a technical policy is meant to apply to all the interaction points of a component (both ports and policies that have port elements)
    2- it is impossible to make a ComponentPortTechnicalPolicy manage the interactions between the component and one of its policies

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Fri, 17 Mar 2017 15:58 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Merge component technical policy and component port technical policy

    Define three values for policy applicability: on_component_only (for services), on_some_ports (for interceptors) and on_all_ports (for interceptors that have to intercept all ports). The later value is useful for policies that control the component execution and thus have to intercept all communications. Classes ComponentTechnicalPolicy and ComponentPortTechnicalPolicy can be merged into a unique class TechnicalPolicy, which is simpler.

the UCM standard platform should reorganized

  • Key: UCM-51
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    There should be only 3 standard component execution policies: unprotected_passive, protected_passive and protected_active (they more or less correspond to <nothing>, ppUnit and rtUnit in MARTE). protected_self-executing is actually not an execution policy, but a triggering policy, and should therefore be regrouped with the timers in the additional execution policies

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 17:35 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    separate self-execution policy from component execution policy

    Associate the self-executing component policy to a component execution trigger aspect rather than a component execution aspect. Also associate the timer policies to the execution trigger aspect.

Align UCM primitive types with IDL


The connection registration API may lead to portability issues

  • Key: UCM-50
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    UCM component bodies are supposed to have a method named on_startup() that takes a list of ports to connect as parameter. When creating a statically typed API (with an explicit list of PortElement), one has to decide which order to follow for the ports. For example, for a component C that has two port elements peA and peB, should we have on_startup(peA a, peB b) or on_startup(peB b, peA a) ?
    The standard cannot leaves this choice implementation-dependent, as it would prevent code portability.
    Also, port elements have two relationships named "executor", which is confusing.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Tue, 21 Mar 2017 17:21 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    Connect port elements using on_connect instead of on_startup

    Simplify the programming model by manking the Connectable interface mandatory, and remove parameters of method on_startup().
    This makes implementation work more portable.
    Also update the programming model diagrams to use SVG instead of PNG images.

update the xml syntax and diagrams and put shorter names

  • Key: UCM-45
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    As the UCM metamodel has been updated, the UCM XML schema must be updated, and consequently the XML code shown in section 10 must be updated as well.
    Also, the names used for the platform definitions are a bit long, and it would be better to have shorter names, in case users would like to write them by hand, and also because it would fit better in the pages.
    As a consequence, diagrams shall be updated accordingly.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Tue, 29 Nov 2016 17:40 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

add attribute delegations in composite component implementations

  • Key: UCM-1
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Composite component implementations have port delegations between their ports and ports of assembly parts. For consistency, there should be attribute delegations as well. The semantics of attribute delegation would be the following: when deploying a composite component, the initial values set for its attributes shall actually be set for the delegated attributes of its subcomponents. As composite component implementations have no existence at runtime, attribute delegation shall have no existence at runtime either.

section for ConnectorPortConfiguration is missing

  • Key: UCM-6
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    The UCM meta-model contains a class named ConnectorPortConfiguration, which has no documentation. A section for it should be added.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Thu, 25 Aug 2016 15:58 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    add a section for ConnectorPortConfiguration

    This section is simply missing: the meta-model is up to date.

wrong field type in AbstractTypeBinding

  • Key: UCM-5
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    field actualType of class AbstractTypeBinding should be IConcreteTypeDeclaration.

  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    replace ITypeDeclaration by IConcreteTypeDeclaration

    The meta-model is correct. This is only a typo in the document.

remove sections that explain the IDL representation from section 9

  • Key: UCM-13
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Section 9 deals with the UCM meta-model, not with concrete syntax. The description of the IDL equivalent syntax must be put in a separate section, at the end of the document. Sections 9.3.2.3, 9.3.3.7, 9.3.4.7, 9.3.5.5, 9.4.3.5, 9.5.3.10, 9.5.4.6, 9.5.5.9 must be removed.

there is no distinction between compositions and aggregations in the descriptions of classes

  • Key: UCM-28
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    In the text that describes the meta-model classes, compositions and aggregations are not clearly identified: the reader must refer to the class diagrams. It would be better to have the information in the diagrams and in the text.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Fri, 9 Sep 2016 14:31 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    append "(owned)" to items that correspond to compositions

    For the moment, the only way to distinguish between agregations and composititions is to have a look at the class diagrams: the text itself does provide information.
    Append "(owned)" to items that correspond to compositions to help make the distinction between agregations and compositions.

create an abstract class IItemBinding

  • Key: UCM-9
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    Ports of component types contain an IPortSpec, which is an abstract class that contains nothing, thus allowing future meta-model extensions without any restriction regarding the way ports are specified.
    On the other hand, class ConnectorDefinition contains ItemBinding, which explicitly associates an InteractionItem with an ITypeDeclaration. Although this will cover most situations, it is not as general as for component ports, since it implies that connector definitions depend on the notion of data type.
    There should be an intermediate abstract class IItemBinding that only contains InteractionItem, and that is extended by class ItemBinding.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 12:14 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    create class IItemBinding

    Create an abstract class named IItemBinding with the following field:

    • interactionItem: InteractionItem [1]

    Class ItemBinding will inherit class IItemBinding. Field itemBinding of class ConnectorDefinition will now reference IItemBinding.

enable extension for composite component implementation

  • Key: UCM-8
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    It would be nice to allow a composite component implementation to extend another one. This can be achieved by adding a field extends to the existing CompositeComponentImplementation class. Composite extensions would allow the declaration of additional assembly parts, port delegations, attribute delegations and connections without altering the elements declared in ancestor components.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 10:02 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    add composite component implementation refinement and update field names for extension mechanisms

    Add a field extends in class CompositeComponentImplementation. Also add a field refines in classes AssemblyPart and Connection. Rename fiels instanceOf of class AssemblyPart into componentDefinition, as an assembly part is not an instance.
    Fix inconsistencies in field names

make classes Connection and ConnectionEnd inherit from IConfigured

  • Key: UCM-7
  • Status: closed  
  • Source: THALES ( Thomas Vergnaud)
  • Summary:

    class ComponentTechnicalPolicy inherits from IConfigured, which allows the specification of values for configuration parameters. Connections and ConnectionEnd should also inherit from IConfigured, to enable the specification of configuration values as well.

  • Reported: UCM 1.0b1 — Fri, 26 Aug 2016 09:38 GMT
  • Disposition: Resolved — UCM 1.0
  • Disposition Summary:

    make classes Connection and ConnectionEnd inherit from IConfigured

    The meta-model must be edited to add inheritance to class IConfigured for classes Connection and ConnectionEnd.
    The main document must be updated in sections 9.5.5.4 and 9.5.5.5.
