KBSI is the IDEF Expert

Data mining helps users uncover useful information in their data. Modeling methods allow users to create graphic models of their enterprise data standards and apply these standards to other data specifications. Modeling allows users to graphically add detail to these designs--business rules, relationships between information elements and system logic--and to analyze the designs for completeness and consistency.

KBSI has extensive experience in data modeling methods (NIAM, ER, IDEF1 IDEF1X, FIPS 184), software tools for information and data modeling (SmartER®), ontology capture methods (IDEF5), ontology capture and browsing software (ModelMosaic®), process knowledge capture methods (IDEF3), and process knowledge interchange methods (PSL).  KBSI’s President, Dr. Richard Mayer, was lead engineer for the development of the information and data modeling methods IDEF1 and IDEF1X at Wright Patterson Air Force Base.  IDEF1X is based on entity-relationship modeling principles and is known in the DoD as Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 184, the federal standard for relational database modeling.

Our experience in data modeling methods and standards and in the related areas of data mining, data warehousing, and software agents and agent communication languages, can help you find tailored solutions for your data and information projects and designs.

 

 

Cyber Network Attack and Intrusion Detection and Recovery Environment (CYANIDE)

KBSI is developing a customizable environment that enables the development, testing and deployment of out-of-band sensing, monitoring, and recovery technologies for combating centralized and distributed cyber attacks on a wide range of information and sensor networks.  The CYANIDE framework will be a Java-based environment that supports a wide range of attack, detection, and recovery modules that are extensible and support new research ideas for cyber exploitation, cyber infrastructure protection, and distributed intrusion detection and recovery.

Adaptive Toolkit for Pattern Discovery (ATPD)

KBSI is combining new machine learning techniques with advanced rule based methods for automated data utilization pattern discovery. The ATPD technology will allow users to monitor information use, discover patterns in that use, and develop ontology models that reflect discovered relations and patterns.

Pathfinder

KBSI designed and developed a comprehensive suite of technologies for life-cycle cost justification, cost/benefit analysis, integrated performance prediction, quantified trade-off analysis, and management decision-making for individual project selection, monitoring, and control. Pathfinder addressed the need for life cycle costing in depot environments, where the operational benefits of acquiring and maintaining weapons systems must be continually balanced.
