Which system modelling notation for showing interconnections and internal logical structures?


I am trying to model a collection of systems, their various interconnections, as well as their internal logical structures, as a message is passed through them, initiated by an actor.

I have been using BPMN 2.0 notation with Yaoqiang Editor.

However I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, or even using the right notation.

System example

Is this correct, if not, can you recommend an alternate notation or method of displaying the systems?

Thanks for all suggestions


Solution

  • I ended up having multiple swimlanes without lines linking between them. Some swimlanes end with exclusive to end xor intermediary event with text explaining which function, procedure or system it's calling. Next swimlane starts with green orb "Start event".

    It seems really effective, would recommend this style to others.
