Hi!

Question for the (UML) gurus:

Imagine that you're supposed to model an activity diagram for the
following flow:
One first selects tool candidates to evaluate. As soon as this selection
is done, evaluation process starts. Evaluation process stands here for
applying the same technique for each tool from the selection (theses
evaluations are not mutually synchronized). As soon as all the tools
from the selection are completely evaluated, decision process starts in
order to select the best candidate from the selection.

Clearly the diagram starts with some "Select Tool Candidates" activity
and ends up with some "Decide on the Tool" activity. The tricky section
comes with evaluation chain. One could model this by "Evaluate Tools"
activity, where could be specified that all the tools from the selection
are being simultaneously evaluated applying the process P for each, but
how to express this visually?
Technically viewed, after the "Select Tool Candidates" activity several
(one for each tool from the selection - the number is not fixed)
instances of "Evaluate Tool" activity are *instantiated*. The flow goes
on first after all of these instances arrive at the end of their life
cycle.

I thought on stereotyped transition or even stereotyped fork, but I
guess this is not the way for non technical readers.

Any ideas?

Regards,
Vladimir
