Parallel and Distributed Programming Using C++

Appendix A. Diagrams

This appendix provides a quick reference to the UML diagrams used throughout this book. The UML (United Modeling Language) is a graphical notation used to design, visualize, model, and document the artifacts of a software system. It is the de facto standard for communicating and modeling object-oriented systems. The modeling language uses symbols and notations to represent the artifacts of a software system from different views and different focuses. Although there are other graphical notations and artifacts used in this book, this appendix provides a quick way the reader can become familiar with the basic UML notations and symbols they may require in documenting their software systems.
