Interaction diagrams

Sequence and collaboration


diagrams
What are interaction diagrams?
 An interaction diagram is a
type of UML diagram that's used to capture the
interactive behavior of a system. Interaction
diagrams focus on describing the flow of
messages within a system, providing context
for one or more lifelines within a system.
 There are two kinds of interaction diagrams:
 collaboration diagrams
 sequence diagrams
Collaboration and sequence diagrams:
main differences

 Collaboration diagram illustrates object interactions in a


graph or network format, in which objects can be placed
anywhere on the diagram. It demonstrates how objects
are statically connected.

 Sequence diagram illustrates interaction in a kind of


fence format, in which each new object is added to the
right. It generally shows the sequence of events that
occur.
Interaction diagrams: when and how to
use them?
1. Identify the system events that are
implied by the use cases.
2. Make at least one interaction diagram for
each system event.
3. Make additional interaction diagrams for
alternative courses of events.
Interaction diagrams: notation
 The following notation is used in the UML for classes and
objects:
 Class
Person
 Instance of a Class
(object without a name) :Person
 Named instance of a class
(named object) michael:Person
 Named object only
(shown without class) michael
Types of message flows
 Synchronous: the sender waits until the responder
finishes.
 Flat: the sender doesn't wait for anything from the
responder and finishes its' activity; the control is passed to
the responder.
 Asynchronous: the sender doesn't wait for anything from
the responder, but it continues its' own activity.
Collaboration diagrams
 A collaboration diagram shows the relationship
between objects and the order of messages
passed between them.
 The objects are listed as icons and arrows
indicate the messages being passed between
them.
 The numbers next to the messages are called
sequence numbers and, as the name suggests,
they show the sequence of the messages as
they are passed between the objects.
Collaboration diagram – an example
Collaboration diagrams – more complex example
Static model based on previous collaboration diagram
Collaboration diagrams – strenghts and weaknesses

One of the greatest strengths of collaboration diagrams is


their simplicity.

The principal weakness, however, is that although they are


good at describing behavior, they do not define it. They
typically do not show all the iteration and control that is
needed to give an computationally complete description.
Sequence diagrams
 A sequence diagram shows relations between
objects.
 It should be read from left to right and from top
to bottom.
 At the top of the diagram are names of objects
that interact with each other. These are the
concepts in the conceptual model.
 When the course of events is initiated by an
actor the actor symbol is displayed as the
leftmost object.

Time

Each object has a lifeline.


Time flows from top to down.
Sequence diagrams: rectangles

:actor :object1
Time :object2 :object3

Rectangles refer to events that


are related to each other.
Sequence diagrams: messages

:actor :object1
Time :object2 :object3

Arrows indicate messages that


are sent from one object to
another.
Sequence diagrams - different types of messages

the lifeline

object ceases
to exist.

Sequence diagrams - strengths and
weaknesses

Strengths:
- they clearly show sequence or time ordering of
messages
- the notation is rather simple

Weaknesses:
- forced to extend to right when adding new
objects, consumes a lot of space
Use Cases and Actors
 A use case
 Specifiesthe behavior of a system
 Represents a functional requirement of your
system as a whole
 Describes what a system not how it does it
 An actor
 Represents users of use case play when
interacting with use cases
 It’s not part of the system
Use Cases and Actors
Organizing Use Cases
 Organize use case by specifying
 Generalization
 Include
 The base use case pulling behavior from the
supplier use case
 Extend
 Pushing behavior to the base use case
Use Case Diagrams
 A use case diagram
A diagram shows a set of use cases and
actors and their relationship
 Contents
 Use cases
 Actors

 Dependency, generalization, and association

relationships
Use Case Diagrams
Activity Diagrams
 Activity diagrams represent the dynamics of the system.
 They are flow charts that are used to show the workflow
of a system.
 They show.
 The flow of control from activity to activity in the system,
 What activities can be done in parallel.
 Alternate paths through the flow.
 They can show the flow across use cases or within a use
case.
 Core symbol is an activity.
Activity Diagram
 An activity is some task which needs to be
done.
 Each activity can be followed by another
activity (sequencing).
 Triggers from the activity may be guarded
as in state diagrams.
Decision Activities
 Diamond.
 Each trigger coming from it has a guard.
 Synchronisation bar.
 All triggers from this attach to activities that can
occur in parallel, with no specific sequence, or
concurrently.
 The next synchronisation bar closes the
concurrency.
 Iteration is represented by a * on the trigger.
Activity Diagram Example
Swimlane
 Arrange activity diagrams into vertical
zones separated by dashed lines.
 Each zone represents the responsibilities
of a particular class or department.
