9 - Deployment diagram

The Deployment diagram shows the physical configuration of run-time processing elements of a distributed system.

9.1 - Node

A node is a physical object that represents a processing resource.

9.2 - Component

A component represents a distributable piece of implementation of a system. There are two types of components:

• Executable component

• File component

9.3 - Connection

A connection is a physical link between two nodes or two executable components. It is defined by its name and stereotype.

9.4 - Dependency

Dependency between elements can be represented graphically.

• A dependency from a node to an executable component means the executable is running on the node.
• A dependency from a component to a file component means the component needs the file to be built.
• A dependency from a node to a file means that all the executable components running on the node need the file to be built.

9.5 - Aggregation

A node can be subdivided of nodes.

9.6 - Node and components identifiers

Attributes are used by connected nodes or components to identify each other.

Nodes' attribute can be omitted if not needed.
