Assume that I want to create a behavior model of some organization: in particular, I want to make a bunch of activity diagrams Describe all those activities taking place in the organization (activities such as "bidding", "order fulfillment", "shipping", etc.)
Now, one of the major activities in the organization, which includes the installation and maintenance of all activities. If you want to show the object flows while modeling that activity, how would you represent such input / output as an activity? For example, would it be right to use the items that UML are examples of activity class from the meta model? (The UML modeling tool I am using does not give me an option like this. Is it because the device is ignorant, or because the examples of classes from meta-model do not include my model?)
An activity parameter node may be what you want. This shape represents an activity that calls verbs in the current activity diagram. You connect this shape to an input node or output node in the current activity.
You can create UML Activity Diagram which supports such nodes in VS 2010 Ultimate. For more information, see the following topics in the RC documentation:
UML Activity Diagram: Reference (Scroll down):
18 : Activity parameter node : An object node through which data activity can be obtained or produced. When the activity represented by the diagram is called by other activity, or when an operation or function is described in the diagram.
