Digging into Use Case Relationships
نویسندگان
چکیده
Use case diagrams are one of the key concepts in the Unified Modeling Language, but their semantics and notation have some gaps that lead to frequent misunderstandings among practitioners, even about very basic questions. In this paper we address some issues regarding the relationships in which use cases may take part. The Include and Extend relationships between two use cases have presently an inconsistent definition, since they are represented as stereotyped dependencies, but they are not true dependencies in the metamodel. Besides, the direction of the dependency arrow in the Extend relationship can be misleading, unnatural and difficult to understand for the common practitioner. Finally, we show also some conceptual problems regarding the included or extending use cases, which in our opinion are not true use cases.

Digging Deeper Into the Outcomes of Social Media Use among College Students: The Mediating Effect of Academic Self-Efficacy
The use of social media is prevalent among college students. Additionally, youth and high school students, many of whom will eventually enroll in college, also use social media at high levels. With the nearubiquitous use of social media and the culture that comes with it, it is important for researchers to understand the effects and relationships that social media use has on students and the di...
متن کاملSignificance of digging behavior to mortality of red imported fire ant workers, Solenopsis invicta, in fipronil-treated sand.
The effect of fipronil-treated sand on digging behavior and mortality of red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, workers was examined in the laboratory. No-choice digging bioassays where fipronil-treated sand was the only available digging substrate were conducted on two colonies at fipronil concentrations of 0.00, 0.05, 0.10, 0.50, 1.00, 1.50, and 2.00 ppm. Workers dug into the fipron...
متن کاملThe impact of gape on the performance of the skull in chisel-tooth digging and scratch digging mole-rats (Rodentia: Bathyergidae)
The African mole-rats (Bathyergidae) are a family of rodents highly adapted for life underground. Previous research has shown that chisel-tooth digging mole-rats (which use their incisors to dig burrows) are clearly distinguishable from scratch diggers (which only use the forelimbs to tunnel) on the basis of morphology of the skull, and that the differences are linked to the production of high ...
متن کاملAssociation rules for rat spatial learning: The importance of the hippocampus for binding item identity with item location
Three cohorts of rats with extensive hippocampal lesions received multiple tests to examine the relationships between particular forms of associative learning and an influential account of hippocampal function (the cognitive map hypothesis). Hippocampal lesions spared both the ability to discriminate two different digging media and to discriminate two different room locations in a go/no-go task...
متن کاملMitogenomics: digging deeper with complete mitochondrial genomes.
Mitochondrial genomes are being used to study increasingly ancient divergences among animal groups. Recent studies of complete mitochondrial DNA sequences have arrived at somewhat heretical conclusions, raising questions about the use of mitochondrial gene sequences for studying the relationships among highly divergent lineages. Other studies have documented convergent evolution of mitochondria...
