It does include some specific subclasses of allocation for allocating behavior, structure, and flows. Full quote A typical example is the allocation of activities to blocks (e.g., functions to components) Next snippet Related snippets Systems engineers have frequent need to allocate structural model elements (e.g., blocks, parts, or connectors) to other structural elements. Allocate is a dependency based on UML::Abstraction. It is a mechanism for associating elements of different types, or in different hierarchies, at an abstract level. Allocate is used for assessing user model consistency and directing future design ... It is expected that an «allocate» relationship between model elements is a precursor to a more concrete relationship between the elements, their properties, operations, attributes, or sub-classes. Allocate is a stereotype of a UML4SysML::Abstraction that is permissible between any two NamedElements. It is depicted as a dependency with the "allocate" keyword attached to it. Allocate is directional in that one NamedElement is the "from" end (no arrow), and one NamedElement is the "to" end (the end with the arrow). The Allocate stereotype specializes DirectedRelationshipPropertyPath to enable allocations to identify their sources and targets by a multi-level path of accessible properties from context blocks for the sources and targets. Allocation is the term used by systems engineers to denote the organized cross-association (mapping) of elements within the various structures or hierarchies of a user model. The concept of “allocation” requires flexibility suitable for abstract system specification, rather than a particular constrained method of system or software design. The allocation relationship can provide an effective means for navigating the model by establishing cross relationships, and ensuring the various parts of the model are properly integrated. ... does not try to limit the use of the term “allocation,” but provides a basic capability to support allocation in the broadest sense.
