Collaboration Diagram Definition
Collaboration Diagrams captures dynamic behavior of
the objects in the system (message-oriented).
They are very useful for visualizing the relationship
between objects collaborating to perform a particular
task.
Ramakant Soni @ BKBIET Pilani 2
Their purpose is to:
Model flow of control
Illustrate coordination of object structure and control

Collaboration Diagram Elements
There are three primary elements of a collaboration
diagram:
1. Objects
2. Links
3. Messages
3. Messages

What it represents?
Collaboration Diagrams illustrate object interactions in a graph or
network format.

Notations used for Collaboration Diagrams
 To show an instance of a class, the
regular class box graphic symbol is
used, but the name is underlined.
Additionally a class name should be
preceded by a colon.
 An instance name can be used to
uniquely identify the instance.

Links, Messages and Return Value

“Self” Messages
 A message can be sent from an object to itself.
 This is illustrated by a link to itself, with messages flowing along the link.

Conditional Messages
 A conditional message is shown by following a sequence number with
a conditional clause in square brackets, similar to the iteration clause.
 The message is sent only if the clause evaluates to true.

Iteration or Looping
 Iteration is indicated by following the
sequence number with a star( * ).
 This expresses that the message is being
sent repeatedly, in a loop, to the
sent repeatedly, in a loop, to the
receiver.
 It is also possible to include an iteration
clause indicating the recurrence values.

Representing Collections (Multiobject)
 A multiobject is a set of instances.
