Unified Modeling Language

Unified Modeling Language, known as UML for short, offers a number of top-end tools for modeling objects and creating abstract system infrastructures. UML was initially meant to help with software building, but it has also been adopted for architectural hardware processing and engineering. Many BPM systems use Unified Modeling Language to create the abstract coding blocks to construct a process engine and rules engine.

The language began as the synthesis of two divergent modeling efforts. The first was built from the work of a man named James Rumbaugh, who moved from General Electric to the Rational Software Corporation in the mid 1990s to create a superlative software object orientation language. Another software pioneer, Grady Booch, was brought in to adopt his method of modeling, known as Booch Method, to run those systems. Their collaboration led to the development of something called the Object Management Group, which, with the assistance of another visionary named Ivar Jacobson, evolved into a leading IT company by the late ’90s.

The first Unified Modeling Language standard, 1.1, gained stellar reviews from companies across class for its voluminous, rich applicational capabilities. By 2005, this open distributed language had gained recognition as an international standard by the ISO/IEC committee. Recent versions include the 1.3, the 1.5, and the 2.0 specifications. Although the UML contains features that few commercial developers ever access, it contains enough standard visualization and construction tools to remain a potent source in business process management construction.
