Systems Integration Technologies

Components occur in most layers of a system structure.  They also connect the various subsystems.  A component within one system may be a subsystem or even a system with regard to another situation.  Normally, when one thinks of a system, the image is usually the product of that system.  Unfortunately, this results in system developers focusing on the system as a whole instead of the components, which for system developers, could be tools for building and maintaining the product, testware for evaluation, documentation, training and other software applications that assist the users of the system in various aspects of administration, semantic searching, supply chain management, asset management, etc. and each one of these components having their own pattern of development.

KBSI, through its over two decades of providing software solutions to many DoD agencies and commercial enterprises, has played a major role in integrating systems, from its creation of the IDEF methodologies to deploying many software applications resulting in improvement of technologies to cut maintenance costs, achieve performance improvements, improve decision making, and meet business goals.

 

 

Message Epidemiology Resource for Counter insURgencY (MERCURY)

KBSI is developing computer modeling technology to help U.S. and Coalition forces improve the effectiveness of influence operations as part of their counter insurgency measures. The MERCURY technology will provide computer modeling of the dissemination of counter insurgency messages that will take into account the full heterogeneity of the host population response and contact rate; the technology will also leverage successful viral marketing approaches.

Biosurveillance-based Integrated Outbreak Warning And Recognition System (BIOWARS)

KBSI is designing, developing, and deploying an adaptive system for the automated discovery of disease outbreaks and impending bio terrorism attacks.  Unlike current surveillance methods, BIOWARS applies syndromic surveillance, a knowledge based approach that looks for patterns of symptoms in the data that relate to or indicate common biological threat agents, and uses Bayesian networks to collect, organize, and store knowledge concerning these data 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.
