"A UML Pattern Language pairs the software design pattern concept with the Unified Modeling Language (UML) to offer a tool set for software professionals practicing both system modeling and software development. This book provides a collection of patterns in the domain of system modeling, including those that are useful to management, operations, and deployment teams, as well as to software developers; a survey of the development of patterns and the UML; a discussion of the underlying theory of the patterns and instructions for using the language; and a thorough exploration of the design process and model-driven development."
