Diff. btw. "iterative" and "stream"
« on: September 14, 2007, 04:25:07 am »
Hi all

I am trying to find out exactly the difference between "iterative" and "stream" expansion regions on the activity diagrams.

This is my understanding:


  • parallel: any number of any sub-activity can run at the same time (ie any item may enter the region at any time)
  • stream: only a single instance of each sub-activity can run at the same time (ie an item can enter the region only if the the first activity to handle it is idle)
  • iterative: only one single instance of a single sub-activity can run at the same time (ie. an item can enter the region only when the last item has left it)


Is this right?

Thanks!
