You can use the mapping table for Deployment diagram model elements to understand the differences in metamodel implementation and the differences in UML notation between Rational Rose® and the Rational® modeling products in the Software Development Platform—Rational Software Modeler and Rational Software Architect.
| Rational Rose (UML 1.4) | Software Architect and Software Modeler (UML 2.0) |
|---|---|
| Connection relationship | Communication Path A communication path is an association because it defines ends that may have a name (or role) and multiplicity. The ends resolve their type reference to the opposite node. |
| Process | Artifact deployed by a Deployment with a DeploymentSpecification. Note: All
three UML elements have the same name as the original Rose process.
|
| Processor | Execution Environment Execution Environments (and Devices) are subclasses of Nodes in UML 2.0. |
