Issue 8173 - remove extra ‘provide’ word
A pin is a typed element and multiplicity element that provides values to actions and accept result values from them.
No additional attributes
No additional associations
[1] If the action is an invocation action, the number and types of pins must be the same as the number of parameters and
types of the invoked behavior or behavioral feature. Pins are matched to parameters by order.
A pin represents an input to an action or an output from an action. The definition on an action assumes that pins are ordered.
Pin multiplicity controls action execution, not the number of tokens in the pin (see upperBound on ObjectNode (from
BasicActivities , CompleteActivities ) on page 408). See InputPin (from BasicActions ) and OutputPin (from
BasicActions ) for semantics of multiplicity
. Pin multiplicity is not unique, because multiple tokens with the same value can reside in an object node.
No specific notation. See extensions in Activities.
Pins are introduced to model inputs and outputs of actions.
Pin is the same concept as in UML 1.5, but modeled independently of the behaviors that use it.
