Activity diagram for mailing system

Here is a possible activity diagram for a mailing system:

Activity Diagram: Mailing System

Start

• The system is initialized
• The user selects the type of mail (e.g. letter, package, etc.)

Activity 1: Address Input

• The user inputs the recipient's address
• The system validates the address (e.g. checks for missing information, invalid formatting, etc.)

Activity 2: Package Preparation

• The system prepares the package (e.g. prints shipping label, packs items, etc.)
• The system calculates the shipping cost and weight

Activity 3: Payment Processing

• The user pays for the shipping (e.g. online payment, cash payment, etc.)
• The system processes the payment and updates the order status

Activity 4: Shipping

• The system prints the shipping label and attaches it to the package
• The package is handed over to the courier or postal service

Activity 5: Tracking

• The system generates a tracking number and sends it to the user
• The user can track the package's status (e.g. in transit, delivered, etc.)

Activity 6: Delivery

• The package is delivered to the recipient
• The system updates the order status to "delivered"

End

• The system is terminated

Notes:

• This is a simplified activity diagram and may not cover all possible scenarios or edge cases.
• The activities and transitions can be further detailed and refined as needed.
• The system may involve additional activities, such as handling returns, refunds, or customer service inquiries.

Here is a possible notation for the activity diagram:

Start
  |
  |-- Address Input
  |    |
  |    |-- Validate Address
  |    |    |
  |    |    |-- Package Preparation
  |    |    |    |
  |    |    |    |-- Payment Processing
  |    |    |    |    |
  |    |    |    |    |-- Shipping
  |    |    |    |    |    |
  |    |    |    |    |    |-- Tracking
  |    |    |    |    |    |    |
  |    |    |    |    |    |    |-- Delivery
  |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |
  |    |    |    |    |    |    |    |-- End

This notation uses a combination of rectangles, arrows, and text to represent the activities, transitions, and notes. The rectangles represent the activities, and the arrows represent the transitions between them. The text inside the rectangles provides additional information about each activity.
