Structured Activity

[zyx]

Dear all,

    Again I apologize for my bad english.

    According the EA help, there are five types of Structured Activity in EA, each representing a particular structure of activity events. The first is simple composite, but I did not find anything about the simple composite structured activity in the UML documentation, only about the structured activity itself.

    What is the difference between simple composite and the structured activity?

     And what is the difference between an activity and a structured activity? A structured activity is like a sub-rotine while an activity is independent?

Composite usually means that the element has an embedded diagram which opens when you dbl-click it. Those have an infinite symbol (or a chain?) lower right.

Structured in connection with Activities means that you have defined a finer granularity (which you optimally show via a Composite diagram).
