4. Concepts for the description of requirements (behavior aspects)
Each Use Case is a scenario
Actions done by actors in some given order
Action: Activity / Responsibility
Actor: Swimlane / Component
Order: sequence, alternatives, concurrency, arbitrary control flows (similar to Petri nets)
Abstraction: refinement of activity / Plug-in
Data-Flow: Object flow / not in UCMs. Question: what type of data is exchanged (an extension of control flow)
Input assertions for input data flow
Output assertions for output data flow
Conditions for alternatives (also in UCMs)
