UML ASSIGNMENT �C BISM 7255 �C SEMESTER 2-2023
A Digital Solution for Gymnastic House
ASSESSMENT WEIGHTING: 40%
DUE DATE: 15 Sep 2023 at 23:00
INTRODUCTION
Summary Task:
The assignment asks you to create a collection of UML diagrams (eight diagrams) that visually
represent a business application for the Gymnastic House.
Introduction of Case Scenario:
The Gymnastic House is a club in Sydney to teach gymnastics. In a term, different workshops
are offered every week for different types, including artistic, rhythmic, trampoline, and
aerobic gymnastics. A workshop is a two-and-half-day or three-day course focused on a
particular type.
Over time, more and more children want to attend the workshops. The club��s director, Sam
Morgan, manages all matters related to the club with the Excel spreadsheet and pen and pencil.
Doing it this way is very time-consuming, bears the potential for mistakes and errors, and limits
the possibility for others to get involved.
Hence, Sam would like to have a digital solution to help with the management of the club.
After consulting with Queensland Associated Gymnastics clubs Inc. that represents all
Queensland-based gymnastics clubs, Sam decided to hire the IT consulting company Biz
Core to create a digital solution.
Mani Jones, the owner of Biz Core, is tasked with the design of the system. You must work
with Mani to design the system.
Assignment requirements for students:
1) You must use the software Enterprise Architect from the company Sparx Systems to create
the UML diagrams.
2) You must in total create eight UML diagrams �C five diagrams that follow the case
description and three diagrams that present a feature, or innovation that is not described in
the Gymnastic House case description (we refer to them as ��innovation diagrams��). For
more details, see section ��Task Description��.
3) Assignments with watermarks are not allowed because when there is a watermark in the
diagram the marker cannot read your solutions �Cfor further details inquire with a tutor.
4) You must use UML 2.5 �C This means the assignment must comply with the tutorial
materials and by extension the OMG UML specification version 2.5 or Sparx Systems��
UML recommendations.
5) Your final submission is a Word document where the UML diagrams are copied in.
6) You must also submit a SINGLE Enterprise Architect file that includes the eight UML 2.5
diagrams which the marker uses if the copied UML diagrams are not readable, or the
marker wants to verify something. Do not submit diagrams another student created because
this is considered ��student misconduct�� and will be dealt with according to UQ policies.

Students per Assignment:
The assignment can be submitted as an individual assignment OR done by two students as a
group assignment. When doing it as a group assignment it is a UQ requirement to do a peer
evaluation. For more details refer to the course��s Blackboard site.
How do I submit the assignment?
The assignment submission must be done via the Blackboard site following the steps below:
1) Go to ��Assessment�� ? ��Assessment: Project analysis and design assessment portfolio��
2) Find two links ? one is a Turnitin submission link, the other is a Blackboard submission
link.
3) Through the first Turnitin submission link, submit a project report (.doc or .docx).
4) Through the second Blackboard submission link, submit an Enterprise Architect file
(.eapx). If the assignment is done in a group, a Peer Assessment Form (.pdf) must be
submitted via this link as well.
IMPORTANT: If the assignment is done in a group, only ONE student in the group needs to
submit the project report (.doc or .docx) through the Turnitin submission link. The name and
student ID of both students in a group must be clearly stated on the cover page of the project
report. However, both students must submit the Enterprise Architect file (.eapx) and Peer
Assessment Form (.pdf) through the Blackboard submission link.
How do I know that my assignment submission was successful?
When the assignment is submitted, the student must download one digital receipt from the
Turnitin Assignment Inbox (for the Turnitin submission) AND should receive one
confirmation email in their student email (for the Blackboard assignment submission). Both
the Turnitin receipt and the confirmation email contain a unique submission ID.
Important submission information:
1) To avoid any potential technical problems with computers or the internet, students are
advised to commence assignment submission at least 3 hours before they are due.
2) Students must click on the Submit button to submit their assignments. Do not save the
assignment as a draft, you must submit the assignment by clicking the Submit button. When
the assignment is only saved then the submission has not been finalised.
3) For the Turnitin submission:
Once the student submits the Turnitin assignment, they should see Submission
Complete! screen. If not, the student should regard the submission as unsuccessful.
After the submission, the student must download a copy of the digital receipt from the
Assignment inbox page (via Turnitin) to confirm successful submission. More
information on the digital receipt can be found via this link: Turnitin Assignment
Submission Guide.
4) For the Blackboard submission:
Once the student submits the EA project file and Peer Assessment Form through the
Blackboard submission link, they should receive a confirmation email in their UQ
student email with the submission ID.
If the student does not receive the confirmation email, then they must assume that the
Blackboard submission of the EA file and Peer Assessment Form was unsuccessful.
If the student does not receive the confirmation email within 60 minutes, they are
advised to resubmit the EA file and Peer Assessment Form. More information on the
confirmation email can be found via this link: BB Assignment Submission Guide.

5) The Turnitin digital receipt and the Blackboard submission confirmation email with the
submission IDs are the only proof that the entire UML assignment has been successfully
submitted. Do not delete these proofs.
6) It is the student��s responsibility to ensure that any UQ assignment is submitted successfully.
Any unsuccessful submission may result in late penalty.
Misconduct
It is understandable that students talk with each other regularly and discuss problems and
potential solutions. However, it is expected that the submitted assignment is a unique work �C
all parts of the assignment are to be completed solely by the student(s) indicated on the first
page of the assignment. The best practice to avoid misconduct is not to look at another student��s
file(s) and not to show your solution to other students. In case where an assignment is perceived
to not be a unique work, a loss of marks and other implications can result.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT GYMNASTICS HOUSE
In the following, you find details that allow you to create a truthful representation of the
business case. You must capture the operation of the gymnastic club as it is described here.
You cannot fill in unnecessary gaps or leave information out. If you do so, marks will be
deducted.
Registration Process for a Workshop:
Currently, a client (a student interested in taking a gymnastic workshop) either calls Sam or
sends an email inquiring about attending a workshop, which is inefficient and makes it
difficult for Sam to keep a record of the persons�� information as well as restricting the number
of students for each workshop.
Hence, he wants to have an automated process registration to eliminate any manual work,
support registration for the workshops in an easy way, and provide her with the ability to better
manage capacities for each workshop.
The registration process will be overseen by Thomas the headteacher, a gymnastic instructor
in the club. While the director takes charge of the club enrolment and term payments, the
headteacher is responsible for maintaining workshop registration, records attendance, weekly
workshop schedules, and other activities necessary to keep the club running smoothly.
The Scope of the Project �C Systems Behaviors and Possible Use Cases
The following text provides the details to create the use case diagram. The use case shall present
the workshop registration subsystem.
The goal of the digital solution is to automate the process of booking of the gymnastic
workshops. With the digital solution, the headteacher can open new workshops, along with
editing information relevant to the workshops. The headteacher can also restrict the capacity
of students for each workshop. If a workshop does not have at least seven students registered
one day before the start date of the workshop, the headteacher has the option to cancel the
workshop.

For the online booking, there is also a set capacity of 18 students per workshop. However, the
headte cher r Sam can change the number up to 20 places, which equals to the clubs
capacity. It would be good if the system sends a notification to the headteacher and Sam once
18 students have booked to allow for manually increasing the number for the ��in-demand��
workshops. This means the headteacher and Sam both need access to the system to change
the workshop capacity.
Thomas cannot believe it when Sam tells him that some students do not show up to the
workshop despite having booked and paid in advance. Hence, Sam is confident that he
normally can accommodate all students wanting to learn gymnastics.
Sam also wants to set up a registration portal on the club��s webpage through which students
can register for the workshops beforehand. Through the registration portal, students can log
in, view all available workshops, and sign up for their preferred workshops. If they want to
keep information about the booked workshop, they have the option to download an iCalendar
file, which can be added to their Outlook/Google calendar. At times, students would like to
cancel certain bookings due to unexpected events, such as sickness (e.g., bronchitis). Then
they can use the ��Cancel�� option.
Students are required to sign up in advance through the ��Register Now�� feature, but sometimes
students do not register and simply ��walk-in�� on the day of the workshop. Hence, in most weeks
there are less than 18 students booked in. This means that the walk-ins are allowed to attend
the workshop. In fact, Sam or the headteacher always try to make room for a few more
students if their club capacity of 20 is not reached.
When the students come into the club, there is a sign-up sheet (paper) on the table asking
them to sign in. They need to provide their name, the membership number, their contact details,
and emergency contact details. Sam would like to remove the paper sheet and put a tablet at
the entrance table. When students enter the workshop, they can then enter their details
directly into the digital solution.
After each workshop, the headteacher generates a report to get the list of attendees. Sam needs
to get the report because she needs to compare the workshop attendees with the term enrolments.
He can also get a printout version if needed.
The workshop fee is AUD 380. At the moment, many students pay by bank transfer. Sam
would like the students to pay via the registration website at the time of the booking. However,
Sam does not want to force payment at the time of the online booking because he is afraid it
may negatively impact the numbers. Hence, the system should give the option of online
payment or via bank transfer.
When attending a workshop, the students need to make sure they are enrolled in Gymnastic
House to have insurance when attending. The yearly fee is either AUD 28 or AUD 82
depending on membership status.
Registration Process for a Workshop
The following text provides the details to create the activity diagram and the sequence diagram.
Both diagrams present the booking process for a gymnastics workshop, however, the activity
diagram needs to capture the process, whereas the sequence diagram captures the interactions
between the actors [students & headteacher] and the system (each).
UML Project �C Gymnastic House
Gymnastic House
Semester 2-2023
The process f booking a workshop at Gymnastic House starts when the students go to the
club��s website and there click on ��Register Now��.
First, the system requires verification of the users�� identity by asking them to sign into a valid
account. If the student is not a registered user, s/he will need to sign up for a new account. To
do so, the student enters personal information, including age, emergency contact, email address,
and his/her contact number. After submitting the sign-up form, the student receives a validation
email to complete the sign-up process for the new account. The link contained in the email will
expire three days from the date sent. When the student has an account, s/he simply logs into
the system by entering his/her login details, i.e., email address and password.
Once the student is logged in, s/he can book any upcoming workshops. Initially, Sam sets the
capacity for each workshop to 18 students. Once 18 bookings are made, any new bookings will
be rejected, but the person is added to a waiting list. The headteacher and Sam will receive a
notification (via email and text message) and can increase the number of sign-ups for the
workshop manually, either immediately or at a later stage. The increase is only possible to a
maximum of 20 places to comply with the club��s health and safety regulations. Subsequently,
more places open up for booking and the students on the waitlist will be notified. Once they
have confirmed their interest in a particular workshop, they are automatically signed up for it.
The payment for the workshop works as follows: There are two options for students to pay
for the workshop �C immediately online or later via bank transfer. If sign-up is online, the
students have an option to make the payment via credit card at the end of the booking process
or later as a bank transfer but not later than two days before the workshop.
Once the payment is made via the online system, the system sends a receipt and, meanwhile,
records the details of attendees. If the student does not pay online, s/he will only receive a
confirmation email with the club��s bank account details and a unique transaction reference
code. For these students who choose to pay the workshop fee via bank transfer, they instruct
their bank to transfer the fee to the club��s bank account. The payment is confirmed and
recorded in the system at the time of the fee is received.
Once a student has booked a workshop, s/he is free to check out the detailed workshop plan
and instrument information on the webpage. In most cases, students would like to get a
reminder of the workshop. They can simply do so by clicking on the ��Save to Calendar�� button
on their booking page. In case a student wants to sign up for more than one gymnastic
workshop, s/he can repeat the same process to book available workshops.
Data Requirements of the Digital Solution
The following text provides you with the details you need to create the domain class diagram.
The diagram shall present the data structure of the entire gymnastic club management system
(beyond the workshop booking subsystem).
In the meetings with Sam, Mani learns about various types of information that the system
needs to keep track of, and that are important to different users of the system. Sam provides
him with a list of the essential information the system needs to capture. You find the
information in the Excel spreadsheet (see in Blackboard).
To help Mani better understand the information in the spreadsheet, Sam also provides him
with some additional information as below:
UML Project �C Gymnastic House

Sa eeds to maintain information about each member that is an account holder. In fact, the
person who attends each of the workshops is not always the account holder but can be the
student��s parent or caregiver. For each student, Gymnastic House only allows for a single
sign-up for an account.
Gymnastic House offers two types of memberships, namely, Gold Star Membership and
Standard Membership. The Gold Star membership also provides access to various online
workshops offered by the club, and the monthly gymnastics magazine. For students that hold
the Gold Star Membership, Sam wants to keep a record of who they are and what benefits
(type of the benefit, description of the benefit) are available to them. For those who hold the
Standard Membership, he occasionally provides them with special discounts for workshops.
In such cases, it requires the system to generate discount codes.
Sam needs to hire a venue for the club workshops. Usually, she contacts the owner of the
club venue in November to renew the lease for the following year. Now and then, their
workshop clubs are not available on specific dates of the year, for example during
competition times. If this occurs, she will need to look for other venues for temporary use on
those days and weeks.
Sam would like to offer multiple advanced exercises in each workshop, but also to have
standard gymnastic moves. He believes that dance and pivots are a great way for students to
learn rhythmic routines. Indeed, creating an acrobatic routine requires flips and twists skills
and every student can do it, but also requires students to learn dynamic strength elements.
Sam usually opens the registration for the workshops for an entire year in January. This
allows the booking for more than one workshop. Therefore, Sam relies on the system to keep
track of information about bookings, especially details that otherwise cannot be captured in the
records of the members and scheduled workshops.
Sam also wants to restrict the number of registrations for each workshop. If a workshop
reaches its predetermined maximum attendance numbers, a waiting list will be open for this
specific workshop. Otherwise, the system only generates a list of registrations. Sam worries
that if someone accidentally deletes the registration list, the registration will no longer exist.
Therefore, he wishes to set up two-factor authentication on the access of the list.
Workshop attendees can make payments online when they book one or more workshops with
vacancies. Alternatively, they are welcome to pay the workshop fees via bank transfer. For
online payments, Sam would like to capture the type of credit card and the billing address of
the payee. For fees that are paid via bank transfer, he wants to capture the account details
(daily cash account or again via credit card) and the transaction reference code.
The registration process is handled by the headteacher.
Sam needs to maintain records of all gymnastic instructors�� personal information (ID, title,
first name, and last name) and their administrative services. Additional information is also
important for Sam to know. Therefore, he wants to record the details of the instructors��
contracts, such as contract ID, the start date and end date of their appointment. Since these are
additional information, they are not captured as part of their personal information nor the
administrative services they are assigned to.

For the headteacher, Sam is interested in knowing more in-depth information, including the
educational background, experiences in coaching for competitions, and actual working hours
per month.
The Lifecycle of a Workshop
The following text provides the details for creating the state machine diagram. The diagram
shall represent the different states of a workshop and the transitions between the states.
At Gymnastic House, each workshop goes through a multiple-phase process to ensure the
students enjoy the activities but also improve their skills in a certain gymnastics exercises.
The lifecycle of a workshop includes several major phases �C a planning phase, an online
booking phase, a preparation phase for the exercise, a workshop running phase, and a
performance and presentation phase. A headteacher oversees the entire process.
The process starts when Sam shares via email the evaluative feedback from the previous
workshop with the headteacher. The headteacher then reaches out to two other gymnastic
instructors to work with him on the next workshop. These three people form a creative tribe
for the week.
In the Planning phase, the headteacher first carefully reviews the feedback while researching
about different gymnastic exercises, such as strength, flexibility, agility, rhythms, and the
selected apparatus. Then, the headteacher drafts a workshop plan laying out the following
details: what time to dedicate to each exercise, what resources are required, what is important
feedback from the last workshop, and which could be used in the week under planning.
Once the workshop plan is drafted, it is shared among the team. They review and discuss the
proposal, and eventually decide on whether to approve it or not. If the workshop is not approved,
it is marked as Rejected and the initial planning process starts again. If the workshop is
approved, it is marked as Approved and the headteacher is notified through email.
Once a workshop is approved, the headteacher goes ahead and opens the online booking for
the workshop. The workshop is then flagged as open in the system and spots are available to
be filled. Every time the system recognizes that 18 students have signed up for a workshop, it
notifies the headteacher and Sam who then may release more spots for waitlisted students.
From time to time, some students may decide to cancel a workshop. As a result, those spots
open and become available for the students on the waitlist. Note that bookings close one day
prior to each workshop. At that point, if there are less than seven students registered, the
workshop will be cancelled and removed from the list.
The headteacher and the other instructors start preparing for the workshops three days before,
such as selecting the apparatus, checking equipments and matts.
On the day of the workshop, the headteacher and the other instructors run the workshop
together. They open the club for the students to come in, set up the healthy corner with water
and fruits. They also explain the club��s housekeeping rules.
A smooth-running workshop is only possible through the efforts of the headteacher and the
other instructors. Each workshop is generally a combination of warm-up stretches, specific
gymnastic moves exercises, particular apparatus exercises, which provide opportunities to
improve the skills.

Sam has made it a habit to collect feedback about each workshop from the students by
emailing them a short questionnaire. It generally takes him two days to receive feedback back
from the students. The feedback is later entered into the system. After 24 hours of entering the
feedback, Sam carefully reads through the feedback and adds some personal notes that mark
the end of one workshop.
Task Description
After familiarising himself with the business requirements for the software application for
Gymnastic House, Mani and you are now required to do THREE tasks:
1) Task 1: Find a name for the digital solution. You must also give the solution a name. Put
the name on the cover page of the word file.
2) Task 2: Create five UML models (one for each type) based on the description of business
requirements for Gymnastic House. Document any assumptions you made (if any)
underneath each diagram.
3) Task 3: Create three additional UML models (we refer to them as ��innovation diagrams)
that have not been detailed in the description of the Gymnastic House. Here we ask you to
be creative and use your own imagination to come up with something new. You can
consider this task as a suggestion of an additional feature, an innovation, the club owner
did not think of. The three UML models you are asked to create must be an activity
diagram, a sequence diagram, and a state machine diagram.
To propose something truly new �C you must keep the following in mind:
1. Activity diagram cannot be the ��Registration Process��. We recommend going back to
the use case diagram and thinking about a different business process.
2. Activity diagram and sequence diagram must depict the same business process.
3. State machine diagram cannot be again the object ��Gymnastic Workshop��.
UML 2.5 Portfolio
All UML models MUST be created with Enterprise Architect (EA) and each diagram must be
exported as an image and pasted into a Word document that MUST be submitted as well.
The word document needs to include an overview page that must contain a table of contents
with meaningful headings. For example, ��Activity Diagram�� followed by the name of the
system. In addition, each diagram may have assumptions underneath only if needed. It is
recommendable approximately 200 words (for the whole document) but can be less or more.
Also, it is desirable the use of bullet points. Furthermore, the word document must have the
pages numbered and the diagrams must have a readable font size.
All models MUST be done in UML 2.5. This means it must comply with the tutorial material,
and by extension the OMG UML specification version 2.5 or Sparx Systems�� UML
recommendations.
Please make sure that you comply with the modelling guidelines as follows:
1) The models must be created with Enterprise Architect from the company Sparx.
2) The first five models must be a truthful representation of the business case. This means you
need to create the five diagrams using the information provided in the assignment.
