E.1 Tabular Notation for Sequence Diagrams

   This section describes an optional tabular notation for sequence diagrams. The table row descriptions for this notation follow:

1. Lifeline Class: Designates Class name of Lifeline . If there is no Class name on the Lifeline symbol, this class name is omitted.

2. Lifeline Instance: Designates Instance name of Lifeline . If there is no Instance name on the Lifeline symbol, this instance name is omitted.

3. Constraint: Designates some kind of constraint. For example, indication of oblique line is denoted as {delay}. To represent CombinedFragment s, those operators are denoted with an index adorned by square bracket. In a case of InteractionUse , it is shown as parenthesized Diagram ID, which designates referred Interaction Diagram, with ref tag, like ref(M.sq).

4. Message Sending Class: Designates the message sending class name for each incoming arrow.

5. Message Sending instance: Designates the message sending instance name for each incoming arrow. In a case of Gate message that is outgoing message from InteractionUse , it is shown as parenthesized Diagram ID, which designates referred Interaction Diagram, with underscore, like _(M.sq).

6. Diagram ID: Identifies the document that describes the corresponding sequence/communication diagram and can be the name of the file that contains the corresponding sequence or communication diagram.

8. Sequence Number: The corresponding message number on the sequence/communication diagram.

9. Weak Order: Designates partial (relative) orders of events, as ordered on individual lifelines and across lifelines, given a message receive event has to occur after its message send event. See definition of weak order (section 34.1 in the U2 partners submission.) Events are shown as e + event order + event direction (incoming or outgoing).

10. Message name: The corresponding message name on the sequence/communication diagram.

11. Parameter: A set of parameter variable names and parameter types of the corresponding message on the sequence/ communication diagrams.

12. Return value: The return value type of the corresponding message on the sequence/communication diagram.

13. Message Receiving Class: Designates the message receiving class name for each outgoing arrow.

14. Message Receiving Instance: Designates the message receiving instance name for each outgoing arrow. In a case of Gate message that is outgoing message from ordinary instance symbol, it is shown as parenthesized message name with out_ tag, like (out_s).

15. Other End: Designates event order of another end on the each message.
