Hi, Ali,
It is up to you as the modeler to decide which time units are
applicable to the time expressions in your models. The UML does not
prescribe any units, nor any standard means of qualifying time
expressions with units of measure. In fact, there is no provision for
units of measure of any quantity whatsoever.
This is a good use case for profiles: you might extend metaclasses
such as Expression and ValueSpecification with a stereotype that
carries unit-of-measure information. In fact, the OMG provides some
profiles that do just this for specific domains: e.g., MARTE for
analysis of real-time systems includes an entire sub-language for value
specifications (the VSL). Some of these profiles are available at
Eclipse in the UML Profile Repository (UPR) project.

Hi, Ali,
What do you mean by a validator adding a delay of 5 seconds?
Validators don't ever change the model: they only check it for
problems. If you write constraints in your profile to check conditions
involving time expressions, then of course you are writing them, so you
can make them understand your stereotype and its time units.
Cheers,
Christian

Hi,
I can only repeat what I said before: by the UML's not prescribing any
particular model of time units or other units of measure, this means
that it is up to the modeler to decide the meaning of time and other
measures. Certainly, Papyrus does not impose any additional time
semantics.
In the profile diagram, I don't see anything like what I had suggested.
* I do not see an enumeration of time units (cf.
java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit in the JDK)
* I do not see a stereotype with an attribute that would hold a time unit
* I do see a stereotype extending ValueSpecification, but it has an association
with the TimeEvent metaclass that doesn't seem useful
I thought the problem was that the values specified in TimeEvent and
similar metaclasses for measures of time didn't have, as defined in the
UML, units of measure. That's why I suggested a stereotype extending
ValueSpecification (which in UML provides the time measurement via a
TimeExpression element) to add an attribute specifying the unit of
measure. I have no other suggestion to offer.
