UML Use Case Diagram. Design Elements

UML Use Case Diagram is a type of Behavior Diagrams that displays the dependencies between the actors and use cases.

UML Use Case Diagram displays the system on the conceptual level.

The purpose of a UML Use Case Diagram is to demonstrate the various types of users of a system and the different ways of their interacting with this system. Use Case Diagrams are often used together with the textual use cases and other types of diagrams.

The notation for a Use Case Diagram involves the following types of symbols:

  • Use cases are represented as the horizontally shaped ovals and display the different uses.
  • Actors are the people that employ the use cases and are represented on the diagram as figures of persons. Actors cannot be related each to other (except relations of generalization/inheritance).
  • Associations are shown as lines between actors and use cases.
  • System boundary – the box with the name and ovals (use cases) inside that sets a system scope to use cases.
  • Packages that allow you to add the elements in groups.

The Rapid UML Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM contains 13 vector stencils libraries with 393 interactive shapes that you can use to design your UML diagrams.

To design a Use Case Diagram use the UML Use Case Diagram library.

UML Use Case Diagram library contains 26 shapes:

  • Include relationship
  • Use case
  • Communicates relationship
  • Actor 1
  • Uses relationship
  • Extend relationship
  • Generalization relationship
  • Multiplicity: mandatory
  • Package
  • Multiplicity: many (zero or more)
  • Communication line
  • Use case set 2.0
  • Divider
  • Actor 2
  • System boundary
  • Frame, fragment
  • Note
  • Symbol << >>
  • Association Many-to-Many
  • Association One-to-Many
  • Smart connector (with options)

Pyramid diagrams help you visualize information as a triangle divided into horizontal slices. Labelled slices represent a hierarchy. Pyramids are used in marketing presentations to show and analyze hierarchy levels. 3D triangular diagram of DIKW pyramid has 6 levels: measurement, facts, data, information, knowledge, wisdom. The data component include different scattered signs or symbols which are merely useless until these random objective facts are somehow processed. Data is a resource which has to be manipulated or rearranged to get useful. Information can be extracted from a pile of data, it also can be mined from different data storages.Pyramid Diagram *

When describing any computer network, we imagine a set of devices and nodes, arranged in some way. Talking about network structures, we should distinguish physical and logical network topologies, as physical topology is about devices location and logical topology illustrates data flow. In the same time, they do not have to match, and some devices, such as repeaters, may have a physical star layout, but a bus logical topology. There are two main types of computer network topologies: Physical topology that show the physical organization of a network - equipment and types of connections. Star network topology involves a set of devices that is connected to a single hub (router). Ring network topology means that, devices connected according this topology have two connections, connecting with nearby devices to make a loop. Bus network topology is the topology presented at the current diagram. It is similar to a ring topology. The difference is that data moves up and down a linear connection, copying itself where network equipment works as bus-stations along the way. This network topology can be used for small network, or when adding an extra device into a network.Network Topologies

Aside from decorating inner spaces, which is a realm of interior design, the art of exterior design is about home facades, playgrounds and yards. To start a project, first of all, you need a site plan of the place, and a list of customers’ requirements. With special software you can do a plan of any place like parking, interchange or driveway easily. There is one of the three libraries supplied with ConceptDraw Site Plans solution. It is designed to draw planning areas adjacent to buildings. For example parking, exit road or house territory for rest. This kind of building plans can be used for providing parking control that helps to organize traffic near residential areas. The well considered road planning will improve safety and will help to manage the number of vehicles near buildings. The ConceptDraw library "Parking and Roads" includes vector graphic images of parking spaces, lots and strips as well as street junctions, driveways and interchanges.Interior Design.
