[edit] Biography

Rumbaugh has a B.S. in physics from MIT, an M.S. in astronomy from Caltech, and a Ph.D. in computer science from MIT.^[1]

Rumbaugh led the development of OMT while at General Electric Research and Development Center, where he worked for over 25 years. In 1994 he joined Rational Software, were he worked with Ivar Jacobson and Grady Booch ("the Three Amigos") to develop Unified Modeling Language (UML). Later they merged their software development methologies, OMT, OOSE and Booch into the Rational Unified Process (RUP). In 2003 he moved to IBM, after its acquisition of Rational Software. He retired in 2006.^[1] James enjoys playing golf and watching baseball in his free time now that he is retired.

Rumbaugh has two sons Alex and Nicholas. Alex is a Political Science student at UCLA. Nicholas is in his second year of a physics Ph.D. at UC Davis.
