"A server is a system (software and suitable computer hardware) that responds to requests across a computer network to provide, or help to provide, a network service. Servers can be run on a dedicated computer, which is also often referred to as "the server", but many networked computers are capable of hosting servers. In many cases, a computer can provide several services and have several servers running.
Servers operate within a client-server architecture. Servers are computer programs running to serve the requests of other programs, the clients. Thus, the server performs some tasks on behalf of clients. The clients typically connect to the server through the network but may run on the same computer. In the context of Internet Protocol (IP) networking, a server is a program that operates as a socket listener.
Servers often provide essential services across a network, either to private users inside a large organization or to public users via the Internet. Typical computing servers are database server, file server, mail server, print server, web server, gaming server, application server, or some other kind of server.
Numerous systems use this client / server networking model including Web sites and email services. An alternative model, peer-to-peer networking enables all computers to act as either a server or client as needed." [Server (computing). Wikipedia]

"A registered user is one who uses a program or a website and provides his/ her credentials, effectively proving his/ her identity. ...
Generally speaking, any person can become a registered user by providing some credentials, usually in the form of a username (or email) and password. After that, one can access information and privileges unavailable to non-registered users, usually referred to simply as guests. The action of providing the proper credentials for a website is called logging in, or signing in." [Registered user. Wikipedia]

This UML timing diagram was created on the base of timing diagram example in the post "Determining Which UML Diagram to Use" from the Architexa blog.
"A project that contains many objects that frequently change state over a period of time would benefit from a Timing Diagram. Without a such a diagram you may not realize how potential periods of high traffic could intersect and overwhelm your program." [blog.architexa.com/ 2010/ 04/ determining-which-uml-diagram-to-use/ ]
