uml component diagram dependency between system and component of other system


Can I join one system with component of second subsystem by dependency ?

My intence is to show that in my system(system 2) is module / component called subsystem 1 and external system uses this subsystem.

diagram
Is this correct? Interfaces aren't defined now, so I can only show that dependency.


Solution

  • Let me interpret this diagram and the answer should come naturally. :)

    "System 1" depends on "Subsystem 1" in some way. "System 1" does not know anything about the "System 2", that contains the "Subsystem 1". This means that "System 1" somehow gets the direct access to "Subsystem 1", with no contact with "System 2".

    Is this correct? That's the answer to your question. :)
