UNIVERSITY CARLOSIII OF MADRID HIGH POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE COMPUTER ENGINEERING FINAL DEGREE PROJECT A Web Site Architecture and GUI for UML Models Search Project Report AUTOR: GUILLERMO SUÁREZ DE TANGIL TUTOR: JUAN LLORENS 12th July 2009 [This page has been left white on purpose] 2 1 Acknowledgments I would deeply like to write some short but sincere lines in order to thank all the people who helped and support me during this project. First of all to my family, my friends and my girlfriend for standing me during dear deadlines. Next I would like to thank Juan Llorens for enlighten me so many things, especially for all those things that they have nothing to do with the project. I cannot find the commensurate words which reflect the great duty he has performed as Erasmus tutor; welcoming us so many times on his house and with his family. I will never forget it and I will never forget Finland, which is somehow the most important part of this project. After, I would like to thank, in general, to the entire IE lab for being so warm and friendly and, in particular, to Julián Urbano Merino. And finally I would like to thank to the SeTI group for letting me finish this project with them. 3 [This page has been left white on purpose] 4 2 Index 1 Acknowledgments
