extensive experience in various forms of modeling for software engineering and business
applications. He has invented the concept browser Conzilla (http://www.conzilla.org)
and has developed a modeling technique (based on UML) called Unified Language
Modeling (ULM; http://kmr.nada.kth.se/cm) that has been designed in order to “draw
how we talk about things,” that is, to depict conceptual relationships in a linguistically
coherent way.
