| Duration Constraint | |
An example of notation for timing diagram - Ice should melt into water in 1 to 6 minutes |
Duration constraint is an interval constraint that refers to a duration interval. The duration interval is duration used to determine whether the constraint is satisfied. Duration constraint is shown as some graphical association between a duration interval and the constructs that it constrains. The notation is specific to the diagram type. |
| Time Constraint | |
An example of notation for timing diagram - Person should wake up between 5:40 am and 6 am |
Time constraint is an interval constraint that refers to a time interval. The time interval is time expression used to determine whether the constraint is satisfied. Time constraint is shown as graphical association between a time interval and the construct that it constrains. Typically this graphical association is a small line, e.g., between an occurrence specification and a time interval. |
