Sequence Diagrams

• Emphasize interaction between collaborating parts of a system • Particularly powerful when used in understanding logical threads • Often become overloaded when representing complex logic • Includes lightweight representation of behavioral constructs

• Traditional systems approach included in SysML specification • Well understood (and often requested) by software engineers
