UML Package Diagram. Design Elements
UML Package Diagram is a type of Structure Diagrams that represents the packages of the model and dependencies between them.
Package Diagrams are used to illustrate the layered architecture of a software system. The packages depict the different layers of a software system. To indicate the types of dependencies between the packages are used the stereotypes.
There are two special types of dependencies between the packages in UML: package import and package merge.
To design UML Package Diagrams use the following shape types:
- Package – it is the mechanism indispensable for organizing the elements and diagrams into the groups.
- Class - it is a description of logical structure of the system, its objects and their behavior in the system.
- Interface - it is a specification of the behavior.
- Object - it is an instance of class, and others.
UML Package Diagrams are very useful for working with large systems, because they allow to clearly view all the dependencies between the elements of these systems.
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.

Working with information can be quite tedious, furthermore, some data can be quite difficult to perceive without any graphic representation. So, to facilitate your work, you can use business diagrams, such as simple flowcharts or Gantt charts for project management and orgcharts for clarifying your company structure. You can use a proper software, like ConceptDraw Pro, draw them on paper, or use whiteboards, but it is more convenient to use a digital tool.
This diagram shows a cross-functional flowchart that was made fore telecom service provider. A workflow of a common telecommunication service provider has a rather branched structure. Thus, it is useful to have a flow chart to visualize the sequences and interrelations of the work flow steps. Business process flowchart contains 17 processes and 4 decision points,that are distributed through 2 lines depicting the participants involved. Also there are connectors that show the data flow within processes. This flowchart displays a detailed model of the telecom service trading process, as well as all participants in the process and how they interact with each other.

Any bar chart can be also called as a bar graph or a column chart or graph. Being a chart or a graph that is commonly used for presenting some categorical data with the rectangular bars having their lengths or heights proportional to the values that they represent, such drawings can be made with the help of the ConceptDraw DIAGRAM diagramming and drawing software. The created bars can be plotted either vertically or horizontally and any vertical bar chart can be also sometimes called as a line graph.

This sample shows the UML Activity Diagram that describes the flow of controls in the system. This is preparation to see how the system will work when executed. Black circle indicates the start of the workflow, encircled black circle indicates the end of the workflow. This sample shows the decision of the problem and can be used when you need to solve some set of problems.

Semiconductors are crystalline or amorphous solids with distinct electrical characteristics. They are of high resistance — higher than typical resistance materials, but still of much lower resistance than insulators. Their resistance decreases as their temperature increases, which is behavior opposite to that of a metal. Finally, their conducting properties may be altered in useful ways by the deliberate, controlled introduction of impurities into the crystal structure, which lowers its resistance but also permits the creation of semiconductor junctions between differently-doped regions of the extrinsic semiconductor crystal. The behavior of charge carriers which include electrons, ions and electron holes at these junctions is the basis of diodes, transistors and all modern electronics.
