The Unified Modeling Language User Guide (The Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) - Amazon.com review: One of the most important recent developments in software engineering is the Unified Modeling Language (UML) standard for documenting software designs. Written by UML's inventors (the so-called Three Amigos of software engineering), The Unified Modeling Language User Guide provides a very appealing guide to all the fundamentals of using UML effectively. The book opens with a basic tour of the essential concepts and modeling diagrams used in UML, including class diagrams, use case diagrams, and basic modeling principles. The authors pay close attention to modeling classes (and documenting the relationships between classes) as well as use case diagrams (which show how software will be used by various actors in a system).

UML Distilled : Applying the Standard Object Modeling Language (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) - by Martin Fowler, Kendall Scott (Contributor), Grady Booch -[Booch is one of the key folks in the OOP/OOM/OOO world] -- From the Back Cover Today, a software designer or architect who seeks to represent the design of a software system can choose from a wide variety of notational languages, each aligned with a particular analysis and design methodology. Ironically, this wide variety of choice is one impediment to the significant benefits promised by software reuse. The emergence of the Unified Modeling Language (UML)-created by the joint efforts of leading object technologists Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, and James Rumbaugh with contributions from many others in the object community-represents one of the most significant developments in object technology. Supported by a broad base of industry-leading companies, the UML merges the best of the notations used by the three most popular analysis and design methodologies, Booch, OOSE (use-cases), and OMT, to produce a single, universal modeling language that can be used with any method. Written for those already grounded in object-oriented analysis and design, this concise overview introduces you to UML, highlighting the key elements of its notation, semantics, and processes. Included is a brief explanation of UML`s history, development, and rationale, as well as discussions on how UML can be integrated into the object-oriented development process. In addition, the book profiles various modeling techniques associated with UML-use cases, CRC cards, design by contract, dynamic classification, interfaces, and abstract classes-along with concise descriptions of notation and semantics and numerous insightful tips for effective use based on the authors` experience. In addition, the authors offer the first look at the emerging Objectory

Software Development Process derived from the methodologies of Grady Booch, Ivar Jacobson, and James Rumbaugh. To give you a feel for the UML in action, the book includes a Java programming example that outlines the implementation of a UML-based design. You will come away with an excellent understanding of UML essentials, insight into how UML functions within the software development process, and a firm foundation upon which to expand and build your knowledge of the Unified Modeling Language. UML Toolkit - by Hans-Erik Eriksson, Magnus Penker --- the amazon editor says : The Unified Modeling Language (UML) promises to make object-oriented modeling a lot more accessible for software developers. UML brings together popular modeling languages by the so-called "three amigos" (Grady Booch, James Rumbaugh, and Ivar Jacobson) under an open standard and UML Toolkit can help you use it for your next software development project. The authors detail the dozen or so diagrams available in UML, which feature use-case modeling, class diagrams, dynamic models (including state diagrams), and physical models (which outline the components inside your system and how they will be deployed). They also discuss extensions to UML (through "stereotypes") and document how well UML is actually implemented in today's computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools. The book includes sample implementations of modeling diagrams, written in Java, for most chapters, and the accompanying CD-ROM contains a trial version of the CASE tool Rational Rose. In addition to outlining the essentials of modeling techniques, the authors do a good job of placing UML in context with other models. They provide a short tour of the software engineering process and tell users who are familiar with the Booch and Rational Objectory methods how to move over to UML. This section compares the diagramming symbols used in each method and

discusses patterns--a hot topic in object-oriented design--and how they can be modeled using UML. The book closes with a useful (though brief) case study of a computer system for a small library, which gives the reader a flavor of how to use UML in the field. With enough depth for the expert and enough simplicity for the novice, UML Toolkit serves as a fine one-volume introduction to the brave new world of UML. Visual Modeling With Rational Rose and Uml (Addison-Wesley Object Technology Series) by Terry Quatrani - a really very experienced practioner Presenting a condensed version of the Object Software Development Project, this book teaches readers how to analyze and design an application using the UML and how to implement it using Rational Rose 4.0. This latest version of Rational Rose, the industry-leading visual modeling tool, allows modelers to express their designs using the UML. .
