In contrast to Associations, which specify links between any suitably-typed instance of the associated Classifiers, Connectors specify links between instances playing the connected roles only.
Each Connector may be attached to two or more ConnectableElements, each representing a set of instances that contribute to the instantiation of the containing StructuredClassifier.
A ConnectorEnd is an endpoint of a Connector, which attaches the Connector to a ConnectableElement.
A Connector specifies links that enables communication between two or more instances.
In contrast to Associations, which specify links between any instance of the associated Classifiers, Connectors specify links between instances playing the connected parts only.
