Webel Best Practice: In general, the SysML DirectedFeature approach is more powerful and the notation is cleaner than UML provided/required Interfaces. Prefer SysML DirectedFeatures unless you have a really good reason to use Interfaces!

[TIP]{STRONG} In general, the SysML DirectedFeature approach is more powerful and the notation is cleaner than UML provided/required Interfaces. Prefer SysML DirectedFeatures unless you have a really good reason to use Interfaces!
Snippets (quotes/extracts)
  [UML-2.5.1] A given BehavioredClassifier may implement more than one Interface and that an Interface may be implemented by a number of different BehavioredClassifiers.
  [UML-2.5.1] The set of Interfaces realized by a BehavioredClassifier are its provided Interfaces, which represent the services and obligations that instances of that BehavioredClassifier offer to their clients.
  [UML-2.5.1] Interfaces may also be used to specify required Interfaces, which are specified by a Usage dependency between the BehavioredClassifier and the corresponding Interfaces.
  [UML-2.5.1] Required Interfaces specify services that a BehavioredClassifier needs in order to perform its function and fulfill its own obligations to its clients.
