UML Block Diagram
UML Building Blocks
The UML building blocks determine as things, relationships and diagrams.
There are four types of things in UML: Structural, Behavioral, Grouping and Annotational.
Sructural things (the static part of the model):
Class:
Class represents a set of objects that have the same structure, behavior, and relationships with objects of other classes. Classes are represented as boxes that consist of name, attributes, operations, and responsibilities.
Interface:
Interface is an abstract class that defines a set of operations that the object of the class associated with this interface provides to other objects.
Collaboration:
Collaboration determines interactions between the elements.
Use case:
Use case is a description of the system behavior on the request from the outside of this system.
Component:
Component describes the physical part of the system.
Node:
Node is a resource available during the run time.
Behavioral things (dynamic part of the model):
Interaction:
Interaction is a set of messages that the elements exchange for execution the tasks.
State machine:
State machine defines the states of the object that go in response to the events.
Grouping things (the mechanism for grouping the UML model elements):
Package:
Package groups the classes and other packages.
Annotational things (the mechanism for capturing the remarks, descriptions, and comments of the UML model elements):
Note:
Note is a textual explication.
Relationship :
Association:
Association is a relationship that connect two classes.
Dependency:
Dependency is a relationship when some changes of one element of the model can need the change of another dependent element.
Generalization:
Generalization is an association between the more general classifier and the more special classifier.
Realization:
Realization is a relationship between interfaces and classes or components that realize them.
Diagrams:
There are the following types of UML Diagrams: Class, Component, Composite Structure, Deployment, Object, Package, Activity, State Machine, Use Case, Communication (Collaboration), Interaction Overview, Sequence, and Timing.
Using the libraries of the Rapid UML Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM you can create your own visual vector UML diagrams quick and easy.
All libraries for creating UML diagrams are available inside the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Templates and samples are located in the Rapid UML section of ConceptDraw STORE.
TEN RELATED HOW TO's:
Sometimes it's difficult to find a path in work processes or to understand the requirements, especially when you are a newcomer. To get your thoughts straight, create a workflow diagram, and put everything on it. This will not only help you to get into the workflow, but also show it’s weaknesses.
This illustration captures the workflow process of payment an invoice for the electricity consumed by certain enterprise. It was drawn in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM using its solution for Workflow Diagrams. Making a workflow charts means that you need to depict consistently all processes engaged to the workflow process. Then, you should connect them with symbols meaning study and analysis. Next, add symbols of decisions. A work flow diagram made precisely and correctly can help to clarify your work flow to any person.

A Daisy Chain is the simple computer network. It is the easiest way to add more Ethernet devices into the network. In the Daisy Chain network one computer is connected to the next without any intervening devices, thus the message is sent from one computer to the next and then to the next and so on. A Daisy Chain can be linear or ring

Computer networks nowadays are spread all across the world. The large number of parameters, such as geographic scale or communication protocols, can divide networks. One of the most common types of networks is called local area network (LAN). It convenient to represent network examples by means of diagrams.
This local area network (LAN) diagram provides an easy way to see the way the devices in a local network are interacted. The diagram uses a library containing specific symbols to represent network equipment , media and the end-user devices such as computers (PC, mac, laptop) , network printer, hubs, server and finally a modem. There are two types of network topologies: physical and logical. The current diagram represents precisely a physical type of LAN topology because it refers to the physical layout of a local network equipment.

Structure of a software product might get very complex and complicated, if software engineers did not pay much attention to the architecture of the product. It will take a few minutes to create UML diagrams with ConceptDraw DIAGRAM , because this software is just perfect for diagramming. You can alter ready-to-use templates, or make your own, whatever you need.
This illustration represent the example of UML diagram made by using ConceptDraw Rapid UML solution. This activity diagram displays the stages of the software development process similar to a flow chart. This diagram depicts the states of elements in the software system. It can be applied to represent software and coding logic. This UML diagram was drawn with the help of the ConceptDraw Rapid UML solution which supplies the kit of vector libraries, containing the symbols of the Unified Modeling Language notations.
