Collaboration

A collaboration shows message exchanges between participants. A collaboration contains at least two pools representing the participants. A pool may include a process (white box) or may be shown as a black box with all details hidden. The message exchanges between the participants are represented by message flows that connect two pools (or the objects within the pools). Only one pool may be represented without a boundary.
