Quite a day, almost entirely devoted to the business side of my consulting practice. Planning a few months in advance for august and september, anticipating customers needs and looking for new ways to translate good research into... better practice. Main concerns of the day were quality metrics (monitoring the quality of a large COBOL product for the insurance business) and cost estimation for the integration of COTS (Commercial Off-The-Shelf) components.
In top of that, I somehow managed to jot down a few paragraphs for my free book (in Italian)
UML 2 Manuale di Stile. A new chapter on Protocol State Machines is starting to take shape, so a new release should be just around the corner...
