From the Back Cover
The latest version of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) -- UML 2.0 -- has only strengthened its position as the standard notation for modeling software-intensive systems. However, UML 2.0 is also far more complex than its predecessor, making a thorough reference book more essential than ever.
In this significantly updated and expanded edition of the seminal guide to the standard, James Rumbaugh, Ivar Jacobson, and Grady Booch -- the UML's creators -- detail the revisions in sequence diagrams, activity models, protocol state machines, components, internal structure of classes and components, and profiles. Whether you are capturing requirements, developing a software architecture, designing the implementation, or trying to understand an existing system, this is the book for you.
The majority of the book is a unique alphabetical list of articles covering every aspect of UML in a form convenient for quick reference and detailed study. This format permits full coverage of UML details as well as high-level articles without confusing the reader by constant shifts in level. The first part of the book -- a complete summary of UML concepts organized by subject area -- provides an introduction to UML for the newcomer as well as entry points into the detailed articles.

About the authors | | | Jim Rumbaugh currently leads IBM Rational's modeling efforts in relation to databases and transformations, and is also supporting the transition to UML 2.0 for its users, including IBM's own software engineering teams.
He was named Distinguished Engineer for his long-time thought leadership in the field of object-oriented modeling, which embraces both standardization of the technology within the Object Management Group (OMG) and the practical application of those standards. One of the "founding fathers" and chief luminaries of object-oriented modeling, he has authored or co-authored five best-selling books on the subject. He also holds four patents, and his contributions have been central to IBM Rational's market leadership in modeling tools.
Jim Rumbaugh received his PhD in Computer Science from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in 1975. |
| | | Dr. Ivar Jacobson, was formerly the Vice President of Process Strategy at Rational Software. He founded the Swedish company Objectory AB, which merged with Rational in 1995. One of the three original designers of the UML (Unified Modeling Language), he has also made seminal contributions to software development in other areas. |
| | | Grady Booch is recognized internationally for his innovative work on software architecture, modeling, and software engineering processes. All of his work has improved the effectiveness of developers worldwide. Grady is one of the original developers of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and was also one of the original developers of several of Rational's products including Rational Rose, the industry leading visual development tool. Grady is the author of six best-selling books, has published several hundred technical articles on software engineering, and has lectured and consulted worldwide. Grady served as Chief Scientist for Rational Software. |
