i) decide and justify the actor :

 Registration - a User Actor

 CustomerDB - a Resource Actor
 Booking – a Request Actor
 FlightAgenda - a Resource Actor
 FlightAgent - a Service Actor

employee of the Travel Club and the requester actor. It manages the registration of the
customers into customer database and it initiates the activity of registration .

2. Customer DB: It is considered as a Resource actor as it is a place or database to store the

details of the customers who have registered and hence it act as a supporting actor in
providing the details of the registered customers.

3. Booking: It is a request actor as it is the one which initiates the service by requesting for a
flight booking. Here the customer is checked whether he is a registered user or not and then
his booking request is initiated.

4. FlightAgenda: It’s also a local database which keeps the data of the flights available within
the organization and hence it is also considered as the Resource Actor

5. Flight Agent: It is an external agent which is providing the service in case there are no
availabilities of the local flights and hence it is a service which needs to be discovered and it
is considered as the Service Actor.
