As Intercax prepares to roll out Syndeia release 3.5, we’re giving our blog followers an advance look at new features. First is the Generic RESTful API integration applied to Vitech GENESYS in the accompanying video. One important aspect of the Digital Thread is the ability to access all the system data, distributed over many models

In Part 4 of this blog series, we demonstrated the use of graph analysis with Gremlin for analyzing the digital thread. This probably raised several questions in the reader’s mind. How do we automate these queries so we don’t need to manually enter each one? How can we perform additional analysis on the results with

In the first three parts of this blog series, I discussed the connections between Data Science and Digital Engineering through the idea of a Digital Thread. In this and the following post, I will show some examples from Syndeia, the digital thread platform from Intercax, that illustrate these ideas, beginning with the application of graph

The data model Syndeia uses for the Digital Thread is a graph, a collection of vertices and edges, each of which can have a name, type and properties (edges can also have a direction). In our case, we have all of those. Referring back to Figure 1, Part 1, the reader can see why this

In the first post in this series, we considered the relationship between Data Science and the Digital Thread. In this post, we will discuss what need to put these ideas into practice. First, obviously, is data. We want all the data about the system and a way to get to it. For that, I’m going

Introduction In this series, we have been developing a model for an electro-magnetic railgun (Figure 1). To this point, it has primarily been a descriptive model, capturing concept of operation, requirements, architecture and mechanical and electrical design. However, a key benefit of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) is that it can couple the descriptive models with

On July 9, 2018, Dr. Dirk Zwemer, President of Intercax LLC, gave a presentation at the INCOSE International Symposium in Washington, DC, on “MBSE for Electronic Voting System Security”. The primary objective of the presentation was to support three propositions using the example outlined in Figure 1: Figure 1 Modeling Architecture MBSE can provide a

Intercax has released Syndeia 3.2, a major advance in “breaking the silos”, that is, breaking down the barriers between domain engineering tools and their users to make complex systems development faster and more efficient. We talk about MBE (Model-Based Engineering) rather than MBSE (Model-Based Systems Engineering) which can too easily become one more silo in

Introduction We extend our best wishes for safety and a rapid recovery to all those affected by Hurricanes Harvey and Irma, but we have a responsibility as system engineers to do more. The impact of these catastrophic weather events can be reduced by intelligent preparation and Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) offers a better way to

Introduction In many respects, railway control systems (RCS) can be thought of as a pre-digital progenitor of the Internet-of-Things, a distributed network of sensors, actuators and intelligent control that work together to respond to a variety of situations. While there are many different approaches to RCS, modern systems are increasingly based on Centralized Traffic Control
