Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a language of graphic description for object modeling in the field of software engineering. UML was created for definition, visualization, designing of software systems. UML is an open standard that uses graphic notations for creating visual models of object-oriented software systems.
Two types of diagrams are used in UML: Structure Diagrams and Behavior Diagrams. Behavior Diagrams represent the processes proceeding in a modeled environment. Structure Diagrams represent the elements that compose the system.
There are seven types of Structure Diagrams that must be present in any modeled system:
UML Class Diagram is a type of Structure Diagrams that shows the classes of a system, attributes, operations, and the relationships between them.
Package Diagrams
UML Package Diagram is a type of Structure Diagrams that represents the packages of the model and dependencies between them.
Object Diagrams
UML Object Diagram is a type of Structure Diagrams that shows the objects of the system and attributes, and relations between the objects at a certain moment of time.
Use Case Diagrams
UML Use Case Diagram is a type of Behavior Diagrams that displays the dependencies between the actors and use cases.
UML Use Case Diagram displays the system on the conceptual level.
Sequence Diagrams
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.
Collaboration Diagrams
UML Communication Diagram in UML 2.0 (Collaboration Diagram in UML 1.x) is a type of Interaction Diagrams that displays the interactions of objects using the sequenced messages.
Activity Diagrams
UML Activity Diagram is a type of Behavior Diagrams that graphically describes decomposition of the some activity on the components.
Component Diagrams
UML Component Diagram is a type of Structure Diagrams that shows how components are connected to larger components or software systems, and shows the dependencies among these components.
Deployment Diagrams
UML Deployment Diagram is a type of Structure Diagrams that shows the physical deployment of information generated by the software programs.
State Machine Diagrams
UML State Machine Diagram is a type of Behavior Diagrams that displays the finite state machine with states and state transitions.
Timing Diagrams
UML Timing Diagram in the UML 2.0 is a specific type of Interaction Diagrams that describes the timing constraints.
UML Timing Diagrams describes the behaviors of the objects during a certain period of time.
Interaction Overview Diagrams
UML Interaction Overview Diagram is a type of Interaction Diagrams that describes an overview in which the nodes represent interaction diagrams.
Composite Structure Diagrams
UML Composite Structure Diagram is a type of Structure Diagrams that shows the internal structure of a class and the interactions of elements of the internal structure of the class.

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.
Create bar charts for visualizing problem solving in manufacturing and economics using the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software extended with the Bar Graphs Solution from the Graphs and Charts area of ConceptDraw Solition Park.

Example of Organizational Chart - Lots of organization chart examples created by ConceptDraw Organizational Chart Software. Include company organizational chart, hospital organizational chart, hotel Organizational chart, corporate organizational chart samples etc
Any information system receives data flows from external sources. In order to visualize them there is a list of data flow diagram symbols that describes how the system components cooperate. If you want to create a data flow diagram, ConceptDraw DIAGRAM Solution Park has DFD Library that contains both Yourdon and Gane-Sarson notations.
This figure shows the content of vector libraries, delivered with ConceptDraw solution for data flow diagram (DFD). There are three libraries composed from about 50 vector objects used to make data flow diagrams.
They include a complete set of objects utilized by Yourdon-Coad and Gane-Sarson notations - two primary notations that are apply for data flow diagramming. Also, one can discover additional "Data flow diagram (DFD)" library that provides a data flow diagram elements for designing level 1 and context-level data flow diagrams.
Diagramming is an astonishing way to visualize business processes. The list of the most common business process flowchart symbols is quite long starting from basic flowcharts, continuing with SIPOC diagrams. Business process modeling was never easier than now, with special ConceptDraw Business Process Mapping solution.
To carry out all professional standard requirements for business processes mapping, it is necessarily to follow the special graphical notations. ConceptDraw Business Process Mapping solution offers an exhaustive suite of tools to aid business process mapping. There are three vector libraries SIPOC Diagrams, Business Process Flowcharts, and Swim Lanes that contains totally more than 50 symbols of standard BPM notations. This is all that professionals need to effectively evaluate and manage quality in business processes.
In software engineering, a 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.
Use ConceptDraw DIAGRAM with UML class diagram templates, samples and stencil library from Rapid UML solution to show the classes of system, their attributes, operations or methods, and the relationships among the classes.

Drawing the diagrams we try to find in help the powerful software and now we have the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM. The ability easily create the SDL diagrams is made possible thanks to unique Specification and Description Language (SDL) Solution from the Industrial Engineering Area of ConceptDraw Solution Park. This solution extends ConceptDraw DIAGRAM 2 libraries - SDL Connectors and SDL Diagrams that contain 70 predesigned SDL flowchart symbols.
One of the ways effectively visualize what is a Cloud computing or Cloud computing architecture, is to create the Sequence diagram for Cloud computing. The ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and vector drawing software enhanced with Cloud Computing Diagrams solution from the Computers and Network area of ConceptDraw Solution Park will help you design all desired types of diagrams related with cloud computing.
ConceptDraw DIAGRAM is a powerful software that helps you create professional and easy drawing diagrams for business, technology, science and education.
