 Sequence Diagrams
• Dynamic model
• Illustrate the objects that participate in a use-case
• Show the sequence of messages that pass between objects
for a particular use-case over time
• Example: order food, change tv channel
• It models a single scenario executing in the system

 Sequence Diagrams – Object Life Spans

• Creation
Create message A

Object life starts at that point

• Activation Create
B
Symbolized by rectangular stripes
Place on the lifeline where object is
activated.
Rectangle also denotes when object is
deactivated.
• Deletion
Activation bar
X
Return
Placing an ‘X’ on lifeline Deletion
Object’s life ends at that point

•Sequence diagrams demonstrate the Res ervations

behavior of objects in a use case by Message

describing the objects and the 1: look up ()

messages they pass. 2: title data ()

3: [not available] res erve title ()

•The horizontal dimension shows the

4 : title returned ()
objects participating in the interaction.
5: hold title ()

5 : title available ()
•The vertical arrangement of
messages indicates their order. 6 : borrow title ()

6 : rem ove res ervation ()

•The labels may contain the seq. # to

indicate concurrency.

 Building a Sequence Diagram

1. Determine the context of the sequence diagram

2. Identify the participating objects
3. Set the lifeline for each object
4. Add messages
5. Add execution occurrence on each object’s
lifeline
6. Validate the sequence diagram
