title: component diagram advice framework
body: <p>I've been tasked with documenting our high-level software architecture that <strong>uses</strong> an in-house developed framework for robotics (similar to ROS.) I'll try and keep it simple.</p>
  
  <p>In a component diagram, how do I represent that a component is instantiated by a class loader (based on its type specified in an XML file) in the base framework application provided and ran in a separate thread? The component implements and instantiates services provided by the framework (i.e network communications.)</p>
