You have been given a specific problem description, and (hopefully) you have prepared yourself for this assessment by reviewing the scenario, and developing a set of objects (e.g., UML Class Model Diagram) that represent the entities in that scenario appropriately.  For this assessment, you will be provided a file that contains the information for the initial starting state of the simulation along with a sequence of commands taken by the mower. You must explain (i.e., “walk-through”) your proposed solution as part of your exam session.  You must address how the system is able to keep track of the state of the simulation accurately based on the mower’s activity.  More specifically, you must show how the sequence of actions that you’ve been provided would be executed given the design of your objects.  Your explanation must be clear and explicit about the object-level data that is being shared, and the interactions between objects.  Your explanation must be detailed and cover the following aspects of the interactions: Domain objects with unique names for multiple objects of the same class Vertical lines to represent the object creation and lifecycle duration Named message between objects that include appropriate parameters (solid lines and directional arrows) Labeled return values between objects where required (dotted lines and directional arrows) Selection constructs with the appropriate boolean conditions to determine which alternatives should be selected Iteration constructs with the appropriate boolean conditions to determine when the loops should be terminated The recommended approach: Describe the structure of the objects are needed to represent the simulation environment, with special emphasis on the attributes included with each object and the object’s initial values. Describe the methods that will be used for inter-object communication (i.e., message passing) for each type of object, with special emphasis on the input parameters and return values. Trace the messages being passed, along with the changes to the object states, for each of the command-line level actions as they are called in the order given.  You must provide details at the object attribute and message passing level of the simulation. We will leverage our use of Honorlock to create your video.  You do NOT have to create a video of your demonstration separately; instead, you must conduct your final demonstration during – and near the end of – your Honorlock session. You must also submit the class model and sequence diagrams that are consistent with the initial state and the sequence of commands that you’ve been given. Your UML Class Model Diagram showing your class definitions, and including the attributes, methods, objects, parameters, etc. that you will reference in your sequence diagram and explanation. Your UML Sequence Diagram that supports your video, and is tailored to the specific initial starting state and sequence of actions that you were provided during the first phase of this exam. The class model and sequence diagrams must be developed and submitted in an acceptable electronic format.
