Example of an activity diagram with two activity parameter nodes

The figure on the left shows an activity diagram with two activity parameter nodes. The first knot takes on spaghetti raw, the second passes it on to the environment in a cooked state. Both nodes are connected via control flows and an object flow with actions within the activity.

Difference to UML 1.x

The activity parameter node was newly introduced in UML2.
