Develop an activity diagram based on the following  narrative. Note any ambiguities or questions that you have as  you develop the model. If you need to make assumptions,  also note them.  The purpose of the Open Access Insurance System is to provide automotive insurance to car owners. Initially, prospective customers fill out an insurance application, which provides information about the customer and his or her vehicles. This information is sent to an agent, who sends it to various insurance companies to get quotes for insurance. When the responses return, the agent then determines the best policy for the type and level of coverage desired and gives the customer a copy of the insurance policy proposal and quote.
Your customer wants to develop a system for stock information where dealers can access information about companies and evaluate various investment scenarios using a simulation system. Each dealer uses this simulation in a different way, according to his or her experience and the type of stocks in question. Suggest a client–server architecture for this system that shows where functionality is located. Justify the client–server system model that you have chosen.
