Active Directory Diagram
Active Directory (AD) is a directory service developed by Microsoft Corporation for Windows domain networks. It presents a service of catalogues management where the list (catalogue) of network objects and the information about them (objects attributes) are kept. These could be names of users and the information about them such as access rights, contacts information and others. Besides simple objects such as users, Active Directory contains the information about such big structural units as domains, sites and Organizational Units (OU).
Active Directory service gives a simple and quick access to this data. For instance, if only one of object’s attributes is known to you, you can create a query for getting the information about all Active Directory objects having such an attribute, which is very convenient for big organizations.
To make the work with the network structure of Active Directory more convenient, network administrators can use Active Directory Diagram. Such diagram lets plan and service the existing network quicker and more qualitatively and presents the clear picture of the network structure in graphical format.
With the help of ConceptDraw DIAGRAM extended with Active Directory Diagrams Solution from the Computer and Networks Area you can easily and quickly create the highly detailed Active Directory Diagram.
Example 1. Active Directory Diagram - Structure Diagram
Active Directory uses Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). LDAP operates above TCP/IP and defines ways of address and access to objects between the client and Active Directory server. Accordingly to LDAP protocol each object in catalogue has its unique Distinguished Name, and this name distinguishes the object from other Active Directory objects and also prompts where the given object is located. Distinguished Name consists of common name (CN) and domain component – domain constituent. Common name defines an object or a container in which this object is positioned whereas the domain component defines the domain where this object is located. Besides in the distinguished name there could be indicated the organization which the object belongs to.
Logical elements of the Active Directory are objects, containers (OU), trees, domains and forests.
Object is a definite set of attributes having its unique name e.g. a user of the network. Accordingly to LDAP protocol, each object in the catalogue has its unique Distinguished Name and this name distinguishes it from other objects of Active Directory and also hints us where the given object is located.
Unlike the object, the container does not have physical presentation, and presents the totality of objects and other containers in the network structure.
The tree defines the hierarchy and ties between objects.
Domain is a separate safety area in the structure of the computer network. Correspondingly domains tree is the totality of domains connected between each other in a certain consecution. Domain tree can be presented in the form of a tree of established trusting relations between domains or in the form of the tree on the basis of a space of names.
The forest is the totality of several trees which do not create uninterrupted area of names. All trees of the forest have the same scheme, configuration and global catalogue. All trees are connected by trusting relations by the Kerberos protocol. The forest in contrast to a tree must not have a distinguished name. The forest exists as the totality of objects, cross links and trusting relations by the Kerberos protocol, known to trees which form this forest.
Site is a location in the network, where servers of services of Active Directory catalogues are kept. Active Directory diagram represents the scheme of correlations of service components with the preset degree of the detailed elaboration. For example this can be the level of objects or the level of sites.
Designing the Active Directory Diagram in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM use the extensive drawing tools of the Active Directory Diagrams Solution, templates, samples, and variety of ready-to-use objects from the solution's libraries.

As restaurant industry is growing rapidly nowadays, researches show that almost half of the adults have worked in a restaurant or a cafe. Moreover, many of them dream to start their own someday. Unfortunately, it takes a lot of time to write a business plan and to find a great location, although some know how to create a restaurant floor plan in minutes or how to plan budget effortlessly. Hiring employees can also cause a lot of headache, but this is crucial for further success, because every guest comes to restaurant for a good service and delicious food. It is also worth noting that restaurant concept is also important, because it defines target audience and influences the menu.
This diagram represents the floor plan of an ongoing sports-theme establishment - restaurant, cafe, or other food service. A number of widescreen monitors installed along the perimeter provide visitors the opportunity to follow the course of a match from anywhere in the dining room of restaurant or cafe. The most of sports fans believe that food and alcohol is a big part of any sports show. That is why the dining room takes the most space - almost 60% of the total establishment space. Nearly all sports fans consume beverages while watching sports - beer, soda or water at least. Thus, the restaurant floor plan designers added a large lavatory there. Moreover, project developers considered unnecessary the gender division of such delicate place - perhaps they guess that only men are watching football, or believe that alcohol will eliminate the most of gender differences.

When it comes to system construction, a class diagram is the most widely used diagram. UML Class Diagrams is a type of static structure diagram that is used for general conceptual modeling of the systematics of the application. Such a diagram would illustrate the object-oriented view of a system. The object orientation of a system is indicated by a class diagram. It describes the structure of a system by showing the general issues,classes of a system, attributes, operations, interfaces, inheritance, and the relationships between them.

There are several types of insulated gate field-effect transistors (IGFETs) in common use.
The early term metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (MOSFET) is still in
use, and MOSFET is usually acceptable as a generic term for IGFETs. The metal oxide, and the insulation in the IGFET, is the insulating material between the gate terminal and the substrate between the source and drain terminals. This insulator must have very low leakage, of course, but another requirement for good performance of the transistor is that the dielectric constant of the material must be very high.
