ActiveStructureElement
Active structure elements are the subjects that can perform behavior.

These can be subdivided into :

  • internal active structure elements; i.e., the business actors, application components, nodes, etc., that realize this behavior,
  • and external active structure elements; i.e., the interfaces that expose this behavior to the environment.
    An interface provides an external view on the service provider and hides its internal structure.
