and modeling system architectures There are 14 Diagrams Types

7 Diagram Types are “Structural” 7 Diagram Types are “Dynamic”

X

X indicates the end of the objects life.

MESSAGE ARROWS

Synchronous – Flow is suspended until return from the call. (filled arrow head)

Return – Synchronous message is no longer blocked.

Asynchronous – Non-blocking message. Sender doesn’t wait for reply.

Flat – synchronization is unspecified.
