Talk:Communication Process Model

I think that the description of an Transmission Pattern needs to be different, at the moment its description is the same as the Interaction Pattern. As I understand it, the Transmission Pattern could be described as A sequence of exchanges between the Application Roles.

Please re-read the descriptions carefully - a transmission pattern is transmission related: a transmission and its direct responses. An interaction pattern covers a much longer and workflow oriented conversation that may be comprised of 1 or more transmission patterns. Roles are about compliance of applications, so depending on the scope of the role these could be defined to fit with a transmission pattern (most of the current appliocation roles have such a limited scope), or with an interaction pattern (this is being discussed right now as the future direction of application roles: partcipants in activity diagrams).
