I like the interpretation that Martin Fowler gave in "UML Distilled". If activity has many triggers coming into it (many activities to one activity), it means that it is performed in either case (logical OR). Accordingly, if many activities come to synchronization bar and from there to a single activity, it is interpreted as logical AND. Makes a lot of sense to me!

When I have an activity that forks into many activities and eventually all these activity threads rejoin a single, terminating activity, similar to the original example in this thread: 1) What is the difference between showing, all transitions coming from the initial activity and flowing into each of the subsequent parallel activities, and showing a single transition from the initial activity as entering a synchronization bar and then several transitions exiting the synchonization bar and entering my parallel activities? 2) What is the difference between showing, all transition from parallel activities entering my single terminal activity, and all transitions from parallel activities entering a synchronization bar and a single transition from the synchronization bar entering my terminal activity? Is there a real diffenrence or is it just notation?
