There are four small squares one next to each other on the rectangle ??™ s border
for input and output sets. The number ??? four ??? has no particular significance. It
merely symbolizes that a set is accepted and returned at these points ( Figure 3.54 ).
Inside the rectangle there are actions that form a fl ow for processing of set
objects. Starting from the incoming group of four pins runs an object fl ow edge to
one of the inner actions with an input pin, which can take an object from the set.
Vice-versa, the last action of the fl ow has an output pin, which carries the processed
object over an object fl ow edge to place it in the outgoing group of four pins.
The object Cargo in Figure 3.54 is a set of containers that are assigned to a
position as the set is being processed. The type of set processing is described in
the upper left corner of the dashed rectangle. There are three options:
1. Iterative ??”The objects of the set are processed one after the other in consecutive
steps. An object gets into the fl ow when the previous object has
been fully completed.
