- marcosdumay 5y agoWhen people get to publish papers in distributed computing, they always use free-hand drawn graphs, not UML. The format varies a lot, but there is a popular one where time usually flows at the horizontal, lanes do not necessarily go through all of the diagram, the arrows are more angular, and there are very diverse conventions on the message label. The angular arrows are a very impactful change by themselves. There are also data flow diagrams, when you don't need to represent causality.
