<p>Statement of the paths of quantities in a computation. A flow connecting the input and output parameters of a system represents an end-to-end flow of the system.<br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Constraints:<br/></p><p>A flow has at least one source and one sink parameter.<br/></p><p><br/></p><p>Semantics:<br/></p><p>A flow specifies the relationship between some parameters (the source) and other parameters (the sink), where the second group of parameters is a consequence of the first group. It defines the causality of these parameters.<br/></p>

Transformation
Class  
Name:  
 
Name: incomingFlow
The related incoming flows to the transformation. The definitions are derived according to the declarations of flows connected to the input parameters of the transformation.
