Chapter 6: Events, Actions, and Activities


Overview

We've been mostly exploring the static side of UML modeling, with the exception of use cases, which model behavior on a fairly abstract level. Now it's time to dig deeper into the dynamic side of the UML.

This chapter explores the following three areas:

  • The various ways by which object behavior is initiated

  • The UML's action model, which defines the individual, primitive functions that serve as the lowest (in other words, least abstract) level of behavior specification

  • Activities, which provide control and data sequencing constraints among actions ‚ as well as inputs and outputs for those actions ‚ and nested structuring mechanisms for control and scope
