Very little of the method and techniques presented here were invented by me (Dan Keller).
Rather, most of these were developed at AT&T in Piscataway, New Jersey,
in the early 80s, under the stewardship of Mary Ellen Perlman,
fondly known by her disciples as MEP.
I was privileged to be taught these techniques there in 1982
when I was subcontracting to a company named Structured Methods,
a spin-off of Yourdon,
and Concentric Associates,
a spin-off of Structured Methods,
all three now defunct.
I hope I'm doing justice to the brilliant work of MEP and her team.
