UML Sequence Diagram. Design Elements
UML Sequence Diagram is a type of Interaction Diagrams that describes the interactions between objects and classes that are involved in the scenario and the sequence of messages exchanged between them.
UML Sequence Diagram represents the processes and objects that occur at the same time as lifelines (parallel vertical lines), and the messages exchanged between them as horizontal arrows.
Sequence Diagrams are very popular in dynamic modeling.
The Rapid UML Solution for ConceptDraw DIAGRAM contains 13 vector stencils libraries with 393 interactive shapes that you can use to design your UML diagrams.
To design a Sequence Diagram use the UML Sequence Diagram library.
UML Sequence Diagram library contains 51 shapes:
- Lifeline (entity)
- Lifeline (control)
- Lifeline (boundary)
- Lifeline
- Return message
- Asynchronous message
- Synchronous message
- Execution occurrence
- Destroy message
- Create message
- Symbol { }

ConceptDraw Rapid UML solution provides UML Sequence Diagram library of vector stencils for UML sequence diagram elements like lifelines and message arrows.
Use the UML Sequence Diagram library to draw your own UML sequence diagrams that show process interactions as messages exchange arranged in time sequences during runtime scenarios.
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.

There are several basic topologies including bus, star, point-to-point, ring and a hybrid. Two computers can form a fully connected network topology, and as the number of network nodes increases, the network diagram gets more complicated. This type of topology is also called a full mesh.
This is a visual example of a computer network built using a mesh topology. This diagram presents the schematic structure of the full mesh network topology. A common mesh network topology means that each network device is connected with several points in the network, so if the one node of the network goes down, it does not cause an issue with an operability of the entire computer network. In a full mesh network topology, every computer or device in the network is interconnected with each of the other devices in the network.

ER-modeling nowadays is a very popular approach for database design. If you are tired of looking for a good entity relationship diagram Software for Mac, then your search is almost over. ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a great tool for creating diagrams of any complexity with tons of editable samples and templates.
This diagram represents the vector library of the Chen’s and Crow’s Foot notation icons for drawing ERD (entity-relationships diagram). ConceptDraw Entity Relationship Diagram solution delivers the ability to visualize databases structure on both Mac and PC. The "bricks" entity-relationships models are the entity, and the relation. An entity is represented by a rectangle comprising the entity name. It means an object, information about which should be available and stored. A relation is intended to show a relations between two entities. There are several types of relations between entities. To show there are a number of different symbols for the types of relationships.
