Assignment 2: UML Conceptual View and Process View
Due Week 3 and worth 50 points
You have been asked to develop UML diagrams to graphically depict
and describe the architecture of two (2) unrelated software systems. The
first system is for an automated ticket-issuing system used by passengers
at a railway station. The second system is for a computer-controlled
video conferencing system, located in a corporate office and accessible
to senior management that allows video, audio, and computer data to be
visible to several participants at the same time.
Write a three to five (3-5) page paper in which you:
Create two (2) UML diagrams, one (1) showing a conceptual view and
one (1) showing a process view of the architectures for each of the two
(2) following systems (for a total of four [4] diagrams) through the use
of Microsoft Visio or its open source alternative, Dia. Note: The
graphically depicted solution is not included in the required page length.
