Abstract

Activities and the corresponding activity diagrams belong to the basic concepts of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) which has become the standard modeling language for specifying, visualizing and documenting software systems. Activity diagrams are used for modeling behavioral logic like business processes or workflow. In the modern UML 2, they experienced an increasing importance. While they were considered as a special case of state diagrams in UML 1.x, they are now enriched with additional constructs that widens the range of their applicability. This make them more suitable for areas like economics or bio-informatics.
