Class UML 2.4.1::Substitution
Description:
A substitution is a relationship between two classifiers signifies that the substituting classifier complies with the contract specified by the contract classifier. This implies that instances of the substituting classifier are runtime substitutable where instances of the contract classifier are expected.Direct Superclasses: RealizationDirect Subclasses: Class Precedence List: Substitution, Realization, Abstraction, Dependency, PackageableElement, ParameterableElement, NamedElement, DirectedRelationship, Relationship, ElementProperties:

as a Trace Abstraction) the assignment of direction (that is, the designation
of the client element) is at the discretion of the modeler, and is a stipulation.Subsets: DirectedRelationship.source
