    Interaction diagrams generalize collaboration diagrams and sequence diagrams, both of which express message interactions between objects and actors. Collaboration diagrams show named objects and actors connected by links, while sequence diagrams illustrate the order of messages with sequence numbers and focus on how classes realize user cases over time. Interaction diagrams are important for understanding how objects communicate and work together, and there is flexibility in choosing between collaboration and sequence diagrams to model different aspects of object interactions.

    Interaction Diagram

    • The term interaction diagram, is a generalization of two more


    specialized UML diagram types; both can be used to express similar
    message interactions:
    • . collaboration diagrams
    • . sequence diagrams
    • A Collaboration is a collection of named objects and actors with links
    connecting them.

    • A Collaboration between objects working together provides emergent


    desirable functionalities in Object-Oriented systems.

    • Objects collaborate by communicating (passing messages) with one


    another in order to work together
    • The order of messages is illustrated with sequence numbers.
    • The communication is implicit in a Sequence Diagram, rather than
    explicitly
    • represented as in a Communication Diagram
    • There is some redundancy between Communication and Sequence
    Diagrams
    • They differently show how elements interact over time
    • They document in detail how classes realize user cases.
    • Communication Diagrams show relationship between objects
    • Sequence Diagrams focus on the time in which events occur.
    • Beginners in UML often emphasize Class Diagrams. Interaction
    Diagrams usually deserve more attention.

    • There is no rule about which diagram to use (SD or Collaboration).


    Both are often used to emphasize the flexibility in choice and to
    reinforce the logic of the operation. Some tools can convert one to
    the other automatically.
