Figure 9-7: Usage example of proxy and full ports Source OMG Systems Modeling Language (SysML) 1.6 Copyright information About Object Management Group copyright in text extracts quoted from OMG specifications for educational purposes Snippet kind INFO UML keywords Port SysML keywords FullPort "standard" Port ProxyPort Previous snippet Unstereotyped ports do not commit to whether they are proxy or full, and do not prevent or dictate future application of the stereotypes, except for ports that violate constraints of the stereotypes. Full quote For example, if the port types on the general block in Figure 9-7 had behaviors defined, then the proxy specialization would be invalid. If the general ports had binding connectors to internal parts, then the full specialization would be invalid. Next snippet If the general ports had both behaviors and internal binding connectors, then both specializations would be invalid. Related snippets SysML identifies two [EDIT:ADDITIONAL] usage patterns for ports, one where ports act as proxies for their owning blocks or its internal parts (proxy ports), and another where ports specify separate elements of the system (full ports). Ports that are not specified as proxy or full are simply called “ports.” Modelers can choose between proxy or full ports at any time in the development lifecycle, or not at all, depending on their methodology. Modelers have the option of applying stereotypes for proxy and full ports to indicate whether ports are specifying features of their owners and internal parts (proxy), or for themselves separately (full). This is a concern when defining ports, rather ... Modelers can apply stereotypes for proxy and full ports at any stage of model development, or not all if the stereotype constraints are not needed. Figure 9-7 happens to use unstereotyped ports on a general block distributed to users, and stereotyped ports on its specializations for implementation, but the modelers might have not used stereotypes at all, if they did not care whether the model met ...
