Behavior : Sequence Diagrams - Time & Occurences
22 important questions on Behavior : Sequence Diagrams - Time & Occurences
While time passes as you move down the lifelines, the time scale is not uniformly spaced on a lifeline, and ....?
Messages may be downward sloping. You can use the slope to...
Consider that the lifelines may represent widely dispersed participants, e.g., satellites, networked computers, or hailed cars.
The things (usually arrows) that impinge upon each lifeline represent an ...?
- Higher grades + faster learning
- Never study anything twice
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
What are the ordering rules?
1. A message end must occur after the message start. This rule is basic CAUSALITY.
2. Occurrences on a single lifeline are time-ordered from top-to-bottom. This rule is the definition of the lifeline. This rule enforces a strict ordering of occurrences on the lifeline.
3. The return, if any, from a message, can only occur after the original message is received. This rule is a consequence of rule 1 and rule 2
These rules allow for multiple paths through a sequence diagram. On the diagram taken as a whole, the occurrences form a...?
We call each valid order of occurrences a..?
When messages cross each other, it causes an opportunity for ...?
Explanation 1: In Fig. 14.4, we follow the common convention to label the sending of a message with an “!” and the receiving of a message with a “?” ![]()
Read the diagram
There are two messages: m1 and m2.
Following the rule 1, we know that m1! must occur before m1? and m2! must occur before m2?.
In addition, m1! must occur before m2? and m2! must occur before m1? based on rule 2.
Rule 1: A message end must occur after the message start. This rule is basic CAUSALITY.
Explanation 2: Ordering rules![]()
So there are two possible orders
m1!,m2!
or
m2!,m1! .
Similarly, there are no rules governing the order of m2? and m1?.
So there are two possible orders m2?,m1? and m1?,m2? .
Together we now have four possible traces for this sequence diagram.
Without message crossing, there is ........ trace when there are only two lifelines.
However, when there are more than two lifelines, you can also get multiple traces.
Though UML does allow CROSSED ....... , it does not allow crossing or bending .......
In Fig. 14.5, we have three lifelines and multiple traces.
Consider that there are no rules governing the order of m1! and m2!. ![]()
The solid arrow with a filled-in (solid) arrowhead is the .....
- If this is a notional sequence diagram, then it just means that the sender is ensured that the recipient gets the message.
- Otherwise, it means that the sender is invoking an operation (aanroepen) on the recipient and that the sender will wait for a response.
Diagraming the response is optional.
Where is the message name placed at an synchronous message?
The called operation must be a member of the recipient’s OPERATIONS or
inherited from a superclass of the recipient. The parameters of the operation may be given values appropriate to the scenario.
The solid arrow with a V-shaped arrowhead is the ..... ?
If this is a notional sequence diagram, then it just means that the sender is not waiting for a response.
The recipient class must be an active class, though that fact is not always modeled in any way.
These asynchronous messages are usually ..... , and they must be a member of the recipient’s ...... or inherited from a superclass of the recipient.
These asynchronous messages can also be operations that are called asynchronously.
Receiving a V-shaped arrowhead indicate a ...?
If a reception by that name is not defined on the participant, the superclasses are searched up the inheritance chain for a definition.
If no definition if found, then the behavior is undefined.
The recipient must be of an ACTIVE type and may not issue a return.
A dashed arrow indicates a.... ?
- In informal modeling, this can be a notional return, but when formal modeling,
- it must match the return type of the operation call.
- It may also use a more complicated format that indicates the operation call
.
An arrow with an open V-shaped arrowhead arriving at the header box indicates ...?
This name of the message may be the name of the constructor with parameters filled in, or it can just be notional.
If it is not an explicit call to the constructor, the constructor is called.
After OBJECT CREATION, the participant can ...?
All lifelines that are not at the very top of the diagram must be created before they can participate.
A large X at the bottom of a lifeline indicates that.....?
The lifeline should not extend lower than the X .
A lifeline can be killed in response to an incoming message, or it can decide to self-destruct.
What is the Opaque box?![]()
As a lifeline can contain multiple threads of execution, a lifeline can still send or receive additional messages while being covered by an execution specification.
In addition, there can be multiple overlapping execution specifications.
The question on the page originate from the summary of the following study material:
- A unique study and practice tool
- Never study anything twice again
- Get the grades you hope for
- 100% sure, 100% understanding
