UML Class Diagram Generalization Example
UML Diagrams
The Generalization association ("is a") is the relationship between the base class that is named as “superclass” or “parent” and the specific class that is named as “subclass” or “child”.
The UML diagram's Generalization association is also known as Inheritance. The subclass is a particular case of the superclass and inherits all attributes and operations of superclass, but can have your own additional attributes and operations.
In UML is used also the multiple inheritance when the subclass inherits properties and behaviors of more than one superclass.
On the UML Diagram the Generalization association represents as the line with empty triangle that connects superclass and subclass.
Near the Generalization association line can be write in { } any additional properties of this association that display as the constraints.
You can use the following UML keywords as constraints:
- complete – signify that in this generalization association are specified all subclasses and the superclass cannot have another subclasses.
- disjoint – signify that subclasses cannot contain the objects that are the instances of two or more classes at the same time.
- incomplete – signify that on the diagram are not specified all the subclasses
- overlapping – signify that some instances of subclasses can belong to two or more classes at the same time.

This sample was created in ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software using the UML Class Diagram library of the Rapid UML Solution from the Software Development area of ConceptDraw Solution Park.
This sample describes the use of the classes, the generalization associations between them, the multiplicity of associations and constraints.

If we divide computer networks by scale, we get several main categories. The smallest network is PAN, as it connects personal devices themselves, and as the number of users grows, a local area network can be recognized, and campus area networks (CAN) connects several local networks located within some area like a university or a corporation. Computers connected to CAN share public educational materials and list of CAN network examples includes such prestigious universities like Stanford and Carnegie Mellon.
This is an example of a computer network diagram created for a campus area network. It was created using using ConceptDraw solution for the Computer and Network diagramming. The specific of this sample campus network is its distribution. It is rather broad to embrace a big campus territory. This diagram can be applied as a template for designing custom area network topology diagram for a particular educational institution.

UML Class Diagrams is a type of static structure diagram that is used both for general conceptual modeling of the systematics of the application, and for detailed modeling translating the models into programming code. It describes the structure of a system by showing the: classes of a system, attributes, operations, and the relationships between them.
The Rapid UML Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM includes the UML Class Diagram library that helps you to design the UML Class Diagram quick and easy. You can simply and quickly drop the ready-to-use objects from the library into your document to create the UML Class Diagram.
