| 2.5 Parameters |
In order to support parameterizable dataflow components, such as an FFT routine with configurable buffer size, SPML allows the flexible specification of parameters, as well as parameter values.
The modeling elements that are used in representing a dataflow graph are described below. The description consists of a name of the modeling element, the stereotype of the modeling element which indicates the concrete syntactic realization of the element in GME (i.e. Folder, Model, Atom, Connection, Set, etc.), an explanation of the role and purpose of modeling element, and a description of the attributes of the modeling element. For additional details on understanding the concrete syntactic constructs of GME, please refer to the GME documentation.

Description: |
Parameter is a concrete class that captures parameters and parameter values. These can be contained in dataflow components. Moreover the parameters can also be typed (Please see 2.4 DataTypes). |

Stereotype: |
Connection |
| Description: |
PConn connection is used for modeling the value propagation across parameters. |
The metamodel of the above elements in defining the Parameter is shown as below:
