Flow of Event

An event flow diagram is a kind of diagram that is used to document the flow of events. The event flowdiagram consists of event rule groups and business steps. With an event flow diagram, complex eventrelationship and related events are visually displayed to people.

UML Communication Diagrams Overview

Communication diagram  (called  collaboration diagram  in UML 1.x) is a kind of UML  interaction diagram  which shows interactions between objects and/or  parts  (represented as  lifelines ) using sequenced messages in a free-form arrangement. Communication diagram  corresponds (i.e. could be converted to/from or replaced by) to a simple  sequence diagram  without structuring mechanisms such as interaction uses and combined fragments. It is also assumed that  message overtaking  (i.e., the order of the receptions are different from the order of sending of a given set of messages) will not take place or is irrelevant. The following nodes and edges are drawn in a UML communication diagrams:  frame ,  lifeline ,  message . These major elements of the communication diagram are shown on the picture below. The major elements of UML communication diagram. Frame Communication diagrams could be shown wit...

Sequence Diagram

Sequence diagram A  sequence diagram  is an interaction diagram that shows how objects operate with one another and in what order. It is a construct of a message sequence chart. A sequence diagram shows object interactions arranged in time sequence. It depicts the objects and classes involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages exchanged between the objects needed to carry out the functionality of the scenario. Sequence diagrams are typically associated with use case realizations in the Logical View of the system under development. Sequence diagrams are sometimes called  event diagrams  or  event scenarios . A sequence diagram shows, as parallel vertical lines ( lifelines ), different processes or objects that live simultaneously, and, as horizontal arrows, the messages exchanged between them, in the order in which they occur. This allows the specification of simple runtime scenarios in a graphical manner. Diagram building blo...

Activity Diagram

What is an Activity Diagram? An activity diagram visually presents a series of actions or flow of control in a system similar to a  flowchart  or a  data flow diagram . Activity diagrams are often used in business process modeling. They can also describe the steps in a  use case diagram . Activities modeled can be sequential and concurrent. In both cases an activity diagram will have a beginning and an Basic Activity Diagram Notations and Symbols Initial State or Start Point A small filled circle followed by an arrow represents the initial action state or the start point for any activity diagram. For activity diagram using swimlanes, make sure the start point is placed in the top left corner of the first column. Activity or Action State An action state represents the non-interruptible action of objects. You can draw an action state in SmartDraw using a rectangle with rounded corners. Action Flow Action flows, also called edges and paths, illustrat...
