Acknowledgments
There are a number of individuals who made this work possible,
specifically those who had to live with me, who demonstrated an
abundance of encouragement, patience, understanding, and had to
sacrifice a part of themselves to make this endeavor real.I thank God for making everything possible, and I thank my family for
what they have been, are, and will bethe essence of
my world: my father Saad and mother Rabab, my brothers Ghazwan and
Phillip, my wife Milad, and last but surely never least, my daughter,
Nora.I would also like to thank my mentors, Dr. Carl V. Page and Dr.
George C. Stockman, for their continued and everlasting
"presence" in my world.In addition, I would like to thank the many practitioners leveraging
my first book UML in Nutshell
(O'Reilly) and my second book Guide to
Applying the UML (Springer-Verlag) from across the world
for their support and continued acknowledgment of their value.I would also like to thank Tim O'Reilly for giving
me the opportunity to do this book; my editor, Jonathan Gennick, for
his effort and understanding and for showing me the true fabric that
makes O'Reilly and Associates and
Learning books a success; and all of the staff
at O'Reilly and Associates for their work in
bringing this book to life. Thanks also go to the following reviewers
for their feedback: Don Bales, Peter Komisar, and John Whiteway.I will not forget any of you, and I only ask that you please remember
me.
