UML package diagram - Template

"Package diagram is UML structure diagram which shows packages and dependencies between the packages.
Model diagrams allow to show different views of a system, for example, as multi-layered (aka multi-tiered) application - multi-layered application model.
The following nodes and edges are typically drawn in a package diagram: package, packageable element, dependency, element import, package import, package merge." [uml-diagrams.org/ package-diagrams.html]
The template "UML package diagram" for the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software is included in the Rapid UML solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

"A very important concept in object-oriented design, inheritance, refers to the ability of one class (child class) to inherit the identical functionality of another class (super class), and then add new functionality of its own. (In a very non-technical sense, imagine that I inherited my mother's general musical abilities, but in my family I'm the only one who plays electric guitar.) To model inheritance on a class diagram, a solid line is drawn from the child class (the class inheriting the behavior) with a closed, unfilled arrowhead (or triangle) pointing to the super class. Consider types of bank accounts: Figure 4 shows how both CheckingAccount and SavingsAccount classes inherit from the BankAccount class.
Figure 4: Inheritance is indicated by a solid line with a closed, unfilled arrowhead pointing at the super class." [ibm.com/ developerworks/ rational/ library/ content/ RationalEdge/ sep04/ bell/ index.html]
This bank account UML package diagram example was created using the ConceptDraw PRO diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the ATM UML Diagrams solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.

The vector stencils library "Bank UML package diagram" contains 5 shapes for drawing UML package diagrams.
Use it for object-oriented modeling of your bank information system.
"A package diagram in the Unified Modeling Language depicts the dependencies between the packages that make up a model.
In addition to the standard UML Dependency relationship, there are two special types of dependencies defined between packages:
* package import,
* package merge.
Elements.
1. Package: a general purpose mechanism for organizing model elements & diagrams into groups. It provides an encapsulated namespace within which all the names must be unique. It is used to group semantically related elements. It is a namespace as well as an element that can be contained in other packages' namespaces.
2. Class: a representation of an object that reflects its structure and behavior within the system. It is a template from which running instances are created. Classes usually describe the logical structure of the system.
3. Interface: a specification of behavior. An implementation class must be written to support the behavior of an interface class.
4. Object: an instance of a class. It is often used in analysis to represent an artifact or other item.
5. Table: a stereotyped class." [Package diagram. Wikipedia]

Elements.
(1) Package: It is a general purpose mechanism for organizing model elements & diagrams into groups. It provides an encapsulated namespace within which all the names must be unique. It is used to group semantically related elements. It is a namespace as well as an element that can be contained in other package's namespaces.
(2) Class: It is a representation of objects, that reflects their structure and behavior within the system. It is a template from which actually running instances are created. Classes usually describe logical structure of system.
(3) Interface: It is a specification of behavior. Implementing classes of an interface class are required to support the behavior.
(4) Object: It is an instance of class. It is often used in analysis to represent numerous artifacts and items that exist.
(5) Table: It is a stereotyped class." [Package diagram. Wikipedia]

"Package diagrams can use packages containing use cases to illustrate the functionality of a software system.
Package diagrams can use packages that represent the different layers of a software system to illustrate the layered architecture of a software system. The dependencies between these packages can be adorned with labels / stereotypes to indicate the communication mechanism between the layers.
When To Use
- It is used in large scale systems to picture dependencies between major elements in the system
- Package diagrams represent a compile time grouping mechanism." [Package diagram. Wikipedia]

"Business process modeling (BPM) in systems engineering is the activity of representing processes of an enterprise, so that the current process may be analyzed and improved. BPM is typically performed by business analysts and managers who are seeking to improve process efficiency and quality. The process improvements identified by BPM may or may not require information technology involvement, although that is a common driver for the need to model a business process, by creating a process master. Business process modeling results in the improvement of the way tasks performed by the business. They can pick up errors or cons about the way processes are currently being performed and model an improved way of carrying out these processes." [Business process modeling. Wikipedia]
