System developers have used modeling languages for decades to
specify, visualize, construct, and document systems. The Unified
Modeling Language (UML) is one of those languages. UML makes it
possible for team members to collaborate by providing a common
language that applies to a multitude of different systems.
Essentially, it enables you to communicate solutions in a
consistent, tool-supported language. Today, UML has become the
standard method for modeling software systems, which means you're
probably confronting this rich and expressive language more than
ever before. And even though you...

been the industry standard for visualizing, specifying,
constructing, and documenting the artifacts of a software-intensive
system. As the de facto standard modeling language, the UML
facilitates communication and reduces confusion among project
stakeholders. The recent standardization of UML 2.0 has further
extended the language's scope and viability. Its inherent
expressiveness allows users to model everything from enterprise
information systems and distributed Web-based applications to
real-time embedded systems.

Since the dawn of computing, software designers and developers have
searched for ways to describe the systems they worked so hard to
create. Flowcharts enabled the concise documentation of
program-flow and algorithms. Entity-relationship diagrams enabled
database designers to convey the structure underlying the
collection of tables and columns that made up a schema. From the
beginning, technologists recognized the descriptive power inherent
in visual representations of a system, yet it wasn't until 1997
that the first attempt to create a visual language that could be
used across all aspects...

Language (UML) has emerged as the design medium of choice for
developing large-scale distributed object applications. The UML's
standard semantics and notation for describing object structure and
behavior make it particularly well suited to this function.
Augmented by the Rational Unified Process, an extensive set of
software development guidelines, and the Rational Rose visual
modeling tool, the UML greatly facilitates the process of
developing quality object-oriented applications that meet both
deadlines and requirements.
