The source of a message is defined by the source of a sends connection from the sending object towards a message object.
In an ARIS model participants are embedded inside the Pool Objects.
If the direct source of a message flow is NOT a pool object the source participant is defined as the pool object which is the embedding container of the actual source (The pool object which can be reached via a belongs to connection from the actual message source).

The target of a message is defined by the target of an is received by connection from the message object towards the receiving participant.
In an ARIS model participants are included inside the Pool Objects.
If the direct target of a message flow is NOT a pool object the target participant is defined as the pool object which is the embedding container of the actual target. (The pool object which can be reached via a belongs to connection from the actual message target.
