In the Unified Modeling Language, an activity diagram represents the business and operational step-by-step workflows of components in a system. An activity diagram shows the overall flow of control.

In computer science a for loop is a programming language statement which allows code to be repeatedly executed. ...
In the field of software engineering, the Unified/Universal Modeling Language (UML) is a standardized visual specification language for object modeling. ...
A workflow is a reliably repeatable pattern of activity enabled by a systematic organization of resources, defined roles and mass, energy and information flows, into a work process that can be documented and learned. ...
Overview
In SysML the activity diagram has been extended to indicate flows among steps that convey physical element (e.g., gasoline) or energy (e.g., torque, pressure). Additional changes allow the diagram to better support continuous behaviors and continuous data flows. SysML, or Systems Modeling Language, is a general-purpose systems engineering modeling language. ...
In UML 1.x, an activity diagram is a variation of the UML State diagram in which the "states" represent activities, and the transitions represent the completion of those activities. State diagrams are used to graphically represent finite state machines. ...
Construction Activity diagrams are typically used for business process modeling. They consist of: - Initial node.
- Activity final node.
- Activities
The starting point of the diagram is the initial node, and the activity final node is the ending. An activity diagram can have zero or more activity final nodes. In between activities are represented by rounded rectangles.

Dr. James Rumbaugh is a computer scientist and object methodologist who is best known for his work in creating the Object Modeling Technique (OMT) and the Unified Modeling Language (UML). ...
| Concepts
| | Object oriented: programming (OOP) • analysis and design (OOAD) Bold textObject-oriented analysis and design (OOAD) is a software engineering approach that models a system as a group of interacting objects. ...
Structure: Actor • Attribute • Class • Component • Interface • Object • Package In the Unified Modeling Language (UML), an actor is something or someone who supplies a stimulus to the system. ...
In computing, attributes are entities that define properties of objects, elements, or files. ...
In object-oriented programming, a class is a programming language construct used to group related fields and methods. ...
In the Unified Modeling Language, a component diagram depicts how a software system is split up into physical components and shows the dependencies among these components. ...
An interface defines the communication boundary between two entities, such as a piece of software, a hardware device, or a user. ...
In strictly mathematical branches of computer science the term object is used in a purely mathematical sense to refer to any thing. While this interpretation is useful in the discussion of abstract theory, it is not concrete enough to serve as a primitive datatype in the discussion of more concrete...
Behavior: Activity • Event • Message • Method • Operation • State • Use case Activity is a result of interaction between system and the actor. ...
An event is a notable occurrence at a particular point in time. ...
In computer science, message passing is a form of communication used in concurrent programming, parallel programming, object-oriented programming, and interprocess communication. ...
In object-oriented programming, the term method refers to a subroutine that is exclusively associated either with a class (called class methods, static methods, or factory methods) or with an object (called instance methods). ...
In information processing, a state is the complete set of properties (for example, its energy level, etc. ...
A use case is a technique used in software and systems engineering to capture the functional requirements of a system. ...
Relationships: Aggregation • Association • Composition • Dependency • Generalization (or Inheritance) Some factual claims in this article or section need to be verified. ...
In Object_oriented programming, Association defines a relationship between classes of objects which allows one object instance to cause another to perform an action on its behalf. ...
This article does not cite any references or sources. ...
In computer science, coupling or dependency is the degree to which each program module relies on each one of the other modules. ...
For the term in the context of mathematical logic, see Generalization (logic). ...
This article or section does not cite any references or sources. ...
Extensibility: Profile • Constraint • Stereotype • Tagged values A profile in the Unified Modeling Language provides a generic extension mechanism for building UML models in particular domains. ...
In the Unified Modeling Language, a stereotype is a name denoted with guillemets (not double angle brackets) that conveys a high level category, type, or meaning of an item. ...
Other concepts: Multiplicity • Role Hierarchy of UML 2. ...
