Simulation of Activity Diagrams

[aserebrenik]

Dear all,

I wonder whether there is a way to simulate an activity diagram in Enterprise Architect 5.0?

Best regards,
Alexander

Seeking clarification--are you asking about Executable UML?

I'm asking about a way to execute/simulate an activity diagram which can be seen as Executable UML but I am not necessarily interested in the Executable UML in the Mellor Balcer sence.

In fact I would like to understand the semantics of accepting events in the interruptible regions and I thought to use EA5.0 to play the diagram.

I'm curious what happens if fork together with some of its (but not all) outgoing activities, on the one hand, and an AcceptEventAction with no incoming edges and a lightening-shaped outgoing edge, on the other, are present in the interruptible region. Does this mean that if AcceptEventAction fires fork can be interrupted? Does this mean that some of the parallel activities (those in the interruptible region) can be interrupted, while some others will proceed?
