public interface Subsystem
extends UMLPackage, Classifier

A subsystem is a grouping of model elements that represents a behavioral unit in a physical system. A subsystem offers interfaces and has operations. In addition, the model elements of a subsystem are partitioned into specification and realization elements, where the former, together with the operations of the subsystem, are realized by the latter. In the metamodel, Subsystem is a subclass of both Package and Classifier. As such it may have a set of Features, which are constrained to be Operations and Receptions, and Associations. The contents of a Subsystem are divided into two subsets: specification elements and realization elements. The former subset provides, together with the Operations of the Subsystem, a specification of the behavior contained in the Subsystem, while the ModelElements in the latter subset jointly provide a realization of the specification. Any kind of ModelElement can be a specification element or a realization element. The relationships between the specification elements and the realization elements can be defined in different ways (for example, with Collaborations or Ğrealizeğ dependencies).

Method Detail

getIsInstantiable

boolean getIsInstantiable()
                          throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
States whether a Subsystem is instantiable or not. If false, the Subsystem represents a unique part of the physical system; otherwise, there may be several system parts with the same definition.

Throws:
javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

setIsInstantiable

void setIsInstantiable(boolean isInstantiable)
                       throws javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException
Setter for atomic property isInstantiable)

Throws:
javax.jmi.reflect.JmiException

allSpecificationElements

Set allSpecificationElements()
The operation allSpecificationElements results in a Set containing the Model Elements specifying the behavior of the Subsystem


contents

Set contents()
The operation contents results in a Set containing the ModelElements owned by or imported by the Subsystem.

Specified by:
contents in interface UMLPackage
