If the Network Drive initiates or participates in the Upload Order use case, it is an actor related to the use case. If the Network Drive does NOT initiate and does NOT participates in the Upload Order use case, it is not an actor related to the use case. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jie Zhao" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "'Sinan Si Alhir '" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Friday, October 11, 2002 4:14 AM Subject: RE: (RUP) Subsystem Actor? > Thanks. > > The attached diagram in your email seems a combination of use cases(grouped > using package) and a deployment element (Network drive).
