Hello James, I also thought of modeling Sys_A as you have suggested, but I am confused a little. My understanding was that An actor works on a use case and not the other way around. However modelling ( Actor ---> UC01_Sys_A ---> Sys_B) makes Sys_B as an actor and it appears the Use Case working on the Actor. How is this model to be read?

His answer fits your explanation and it is what I would do.

In UML an actor may represent either a user of an external system. This means that in the Sys_B model, Sys_A is the actor for UC02. Therefore I would represent it as follows: In model for Sys_A: 0 0 -|- ------------> UC01_Sys_A -------------------- -|- | | / \ / \ Actor Sys_B And then in model for Sys_B: 0 -|- ------------> UC02_Sys_B | / \ Sys_A Hope this helps James -----Original Message----- From: Pankaj Chatterjee [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 11 December 2001 07:43 To: 'Rose Forum' Subject: (ROSE) Actors - Use Case and Other System Hi all, Suppose there are two systems Sys_A and Sys_B. Consider also a Use Case UC01_Sys_A in the Sys_A system. Now consider that an actor will initiate the UC01_Sys_A, this use case does some work and also raises an event that will cause some processing in Sys_B ( lets say UC02_Sys_B) . The question is the how to represent this situation? Understand that there are two models being generated, one for each system. Therefore from Sys_A point of view what is Sys_B and what is the event that the UC01 raises? >From Sys_B point of view who is the actor for UC02?
