Information flow (UML)
Information Flow (english Information Flow ) is a model element in the Unified Modeling Language (UML), a modeling language for software and other systems. It models a channel between two elements of the model, via which the two elements exchange information units.
notation
The model in the illustration on the left specifies that products flow from the company to customers and remuneration flows to employees. The model is still silent about what these products and the remuneration consist of in detail and how these are transferred to customers or employees.
