007/**
008 * A representation of the model object 'Call Operation Action'. An action that transmits an
009 * operation call request to the target object, where it may cause the invocation of associated
010 * behavior. The argument values of the action are available to the execution of the invoked
011 * behavior. If the action is marked synchronous, the execution of the call operation action waits
012 * until the execution of the invoked behavior completes and a reply transmission is returned to the
013 * caller; otherwise execution of the action is complete when the invocation of the operation is
014 * established and the execution of the invoked operation proceeds concurrently with the execution
015 * of the calling behavior. Any values returned as part of the reply transmission are put on the
016 * result output pins of the call operation action. Upon receipt of the reply transmission,
017 * execution of the call operation action is complete.
018 *
019 * Metafacade interface to be used by AndroMDA cartridges.
