We call the process of representing the behavior of our system as a set of collaborating objects behavioral modeling, which is the subject of Chapter 8. Before we can actually begin allocating behavior to our objects, first we must have some objects in place. While behavioral modeling is an activity that emphasizes the allocation of behavior to the classes that should exhibit that behavior, it doesn't imply we work only with behavioral diagrams.
