The Connector entity represents a binding between ports of components to enable communication between components. The actual kind of the port (EventPort or InterfacePort) determine the communication style, i.e., either message passing or method invocations.

Attribute
<Primitive Type> Boolean	isDelegation	This derived attribute differentiates between two kinds of connectors---assembly connectors and delegation connectors. An assembly connector (for which the attribute is set to false) is used for connecting ports of components on the same hierarchy level, while a delegation connector (for which the attribute is set to true) connects ports on adjacent hierarchy levels, i.e., connecting a port of a CompositeStructure with a port of its subcomponent.
<Class> EndPoint	endpoints	This property represents the endpoints of the connector, i.e., entities to be attached to component ports.
