Abstract :
Different methodologists have developed different types of diagrams to represent structural, behavioral and state change aspects of the system. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) was developed by the unification of three amigos design diagrams. The syntactics and semantics used in UML is quite appropriate to Object Oriented Technology (OOT). In fact the Object Management Group (OMG) has recognized the UML as defacto standard design language. UML is claimed to be correct and complete by the original developers. But the constant additions to the bandwagon of diagrams in consecutive versions falsify their claim. This maybe because the concept of language is always limited only to the syntactics & the semantics, whereas the other component pragmatics has the scope to grow to the au-courant needs. In the present form, the UML embodies along with others few diagrams relating to different pragmatics. In this paper, an attempt is made to represent the work process (a prominent pragmatic view) of any information system. To ossify & classify the present diagram into the bandwagon of UML, an attempt is made to incorporate the syntactics & semantics without giving the scope for change in the UML architecture and its specific characteristics. In fact, the introduction of our proposed diagram enhances the virtues of UML by displaying a diagram through the superset of two pragmatic views of the trinity.
