A modelling odyssey...

Welcome to my blog. My name is Shaun and I am the principal of an Information Technology design and development consultancy in Auckland, New Zealand called Method Maker.

I was first introduced to the benefits of modelling computer systems in 1996 when I joined Rational Software; now part of IBM. I have subsequently been using the Unified Modelling Language [UML] for the last ten years on a daily basis to specify, design, develop and document a wide variety of different IT systems on a large number of different projects around the Asia Pacific region.

I plan on using this blog to establish a commentary on a variety of modelling related interest areas including:

- modelling trends and directions,
- advances in modelling technologies and applications,
- problem domains and challenges,
- modelling techniques, guidelines and strategies

to be continued....
