  1. Sequence Charts Edel Sherratt

  2. Visualizing Interactions • UML sequence diagrams • Message Sequence Charts (ITU) • And there are many other ways to illustrate dynamic interaction

  3. UML sequence diagram • Vertical lifelines represent processes • Horizontal arrows represent messages • solid arrow heads: synchronous messages • open arrow heads: asynchronous messages • dashed lines: reply messages.

  4. Some Examples • http://www.tutorialspoint.com/uml/uml_interaction_diagram.htm • https://www.lucidchart.com/pages/uml/sequence-diagram • http://www.conceptdraw.com/solution-park/diagramming-uml • http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence_diagram • http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rational/library/3101.html

  5. Message Sequence Chart • Originally developed to specify real-time communication • Vertical lines represent autonomous executing entities • Arrows represent asynchronous messages

  6. Example

  7. Business Processes as Sequence Charts • A simple message sequence chart • Vertical lines represent roles • Arrows represent asynchronous messages

  8. From before: Purchasing Process • S = Supplier C= Customer • C asks S for price • S sends price to C • C send Purchase order to S • S sends goods to C • C signs GRN and send to S • S sends invoice to C • C send cheque to S • C reports fault to S • S send credit note to C

  9. Purchasing Process as a Sequence Chart

  10. Betty’s and Mike’s • Betty’s Bakery Ltd. orders 20 pallets of wholemeal flour from Mike’s Mill Ltd. • Mike's sends a delivery of 15 pallets of wholemeal and 5 pallets of white flour. • Betty’s accepts the wholemeal, but returns the white flour. • At the end of the month, Betty’s Ltd. pays for the 15 pallets of wholemeal.

  11. Exchange of Paperwork

  12. Summary • Visualizing exchange of messages • UML sequence diagrams • ITU standard message sequence charts • Simple sequence charts to represent business processes • Think about how sequence charts could be used by web developers
