Figure 8.8: Modeling of the RootSwClusterDesignComponentPrototype and the CompositionRPortToExecutableRPortMapping [TPS_MANI_01276] Semantics of CompositionRPortToExecutableRPortMapping and CompositionPPortToExecutablePPortMapping ⌈In the context of the creation of an SoftwareClusterDesign, it is not possible to already define the actual mapping of PortPrototypes to AdaptivePlatformServiceInstances. T o counter this issue, and as an additional guidance for the later creation of the actual ServiceInstanceToPortPrototypeMappings it is possible to create another mapping inside the scope of the SoftwareClusterDesign that maps the PortPrototypes defined in the context of the RootSwClusterDesignComponentPrototype to the refined PortPrototypes defined in the context of Executables.⌋ This way , it is possible to retrace the design decisions on the level of the RootSwClusterDesignComponentPrototype one level deeper and provide a guidance for the creation of the ServiceInstanceToPortPrototypeMapping, as described in Chapter 13.3.
