Key Technical Areas

  1. Object-Based Modeling. Object modeling of systems using the Unified Modeling Language (UML) and automation of model-based system behavior simulation.

  2. Formal Models. Semi-formal and formal languages for the representation of system requirements, system specifications, and allocation flowdown in heterogeneous (from the physical layer perspective) hierarchies.

  3. Databases. Object-relational databases and multiple views (engineering and others) of system data.

  4. Trade-Off Analysis. Quantitative procedures for trade-off analysis when (mixed) Boolean and numeric variables are present.

  5. Validation and Verification. Validation and verification by quantitative treatment of tolerances and convex analysis.
