Abstract
“If you are a serious user of UML, there is no other book quite like this one. I have been involved with the UML specification process for some time, but I still found myself learning things while reading through this book-especially on the changes and new capabilities that have come with UML.” ï ï ï ï ï ï ï ï ï -Ed Seidewitz, Chief Architect, IntelliData Technologies CorporationThe latest version of the Unified Modeling Language-UML 2.0-has increased its capabilities as the standard notation for modeling software-intensive systems. Like most standards documents, however, the official UML specification is difficult to read and navigate. In addition, UML 2.0 is far more complex than previous versions, making a thorough reference book more essential than ever.In this significantly updated and expanded edition of the definitive reference to the standard, James Rumbaugh, Ivar Jacobson, and Grady Booch-the UML's creators-clearly and completely describe UML concepts, including major revisions to sequence diagrams, activity models, state machines, components, internal structure of classes and components, and profiles. Whether you are capturing requirements, developing software architectures, designing implementations, or trying to understand existing systems, this is the book for you.Highlights include: Alphabetical dictionary of articles covering every UML concept Integrated summary of UML concepts by diagram type Two-color diagrams with extensive annotations in blue Thorough coverage of both semantics and notation, separated in each article for easy reference Further explanations of concepts whose meaning or purpose is obscure in the original specifications Discussion sections offering usage advice and additional insight into tricky concepts Notation summary, with references to individual articles A hyperlinked version of the book in Adobe Reader format on CD-ROM, an excellent resource for browsing or searching the text for specific information An enhanced online index available on the book's web site allowing readers to quickly and easily search the entire text for specific topicsThe result is an indispensable resource for anyone who needs to understand the inner workings of the industry standard modeling language.

Claudiu Popescu
This book represents the best effort so far to produce a clear and comprehensive description of unified modeling language (UML) 2.0 concepts and terms. It is addressed to experienced UML users, not beginners. The authors are the three famous founders of the UML technology, making this an authoritative reference book. There are three parts, which combine a high-level view of the technology with a dictionary of UML terms. Part 1 provides a brief presentation of modeling and an overview of UML. Part 2 presents UML concepts, organized as a set of views. Part 3, covering 80 percent of the book, is a dictionary of UML terms. There are hundreds of terms presented; the description of each spans anywhere from two lines to eight pages. The use of two colors (blue and black) for the graphical images makes reading the book much easier. I found Appendix B, a 12-page notation summary, to be very useful as a quick reference. A CD with a portable document format (PDF) version of the book, with hyperlinks, comes with the book. This allows for easier browsing and searching. While this book is the best UML reference to date, it is not perfect. And this is not the fault of the book, but of the topic: "UML is messy, imprecise, complex, and sprawling. This is both a fault and a virtue. Anything intended for such widespread usage is going to be messy" (page 12). Based on this evaluation, it is very difficult to produce the much-needed book that clearly explains the technology. Therefore, the effort should instead be directed toward making UML easier to understand, in order to help and captivate UML users. I could not find in the book any critical opinions about why UML is in its current state, or any recommendations about how to improve it. Any history of terms is avoided in the dictionary. This is a drawback for people with experience with older, similar concepts who are trying to become knowledgeable about UML. I would have liked to see, for example, a comparison between current UML constructions and pre-UML basic concepts, such as the object-oriented modeling technique (OMT), real-time capsule, and so on. In conclusion, this is a great book, explaining, as well as possible, the current status of UML 2.0. Because UML is ubiquitous, readers will benefit from owning this reference book.
