Difference between "Action Execution Specification" and "Behavior Execution Specifica [message #1751690] Thu, 12 January 2017 10:16 Go to next message

What is the difference between Action Execution Specification and Behavior Execution Specification. These don't seem to be general UML concepts, are they? In case I'm wrong, is there some reference?

Hi Christian,

These are defined in the UML specification (I'm using 2.5):

17.12.1 ActionExecutionSpecification
An ActionExecutionSpecification is a kind of ExecutionSpecification representing the execution of an Action.

16.14.3
Action: An Action is the fundamental unit of executable functionality. The execution of an Action represents some transformation or processing in the modeled system. Actions provide the ExecutableNodes within Activities and may also be used within Interactions.


17.12.2 BehaviorExecutionSpecification
A BehaviorExecutionSpecification is a kind of ExecutionSpecification representing the execution of a Behavior.

13.4.2
Behavior: a specification of how its context BehavioredClassifier changes state over time. This specification may be either a definition of possible behavior execution or emergent behavior, or a selective illustration of an interesting subset of possible executions. The latter form is typically used for capturing examples, such as a trace of a particular execution.

I know...clear as mud...

Essentially and Action is something that doesn't decompose further whilst a behaviour is more generic and can include actions - and behaviours I guess.

At least that's how I understand it.
