Profile

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. (KBSI) is a Texas-based corporation with offices in College Station, Texas and Detroit, Michigan. Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. specializes in innovative software solutions and products in areas including expert systems for engineering, manufacturing and maintenance, and tools for systems/software engineering. Because of close university and industry ties, a major thrust within KBSI is the translation of research results into new products designed to address industry needs. KBSI is the Air Force contractor responsible for the continued development and maintenance of the public domain IDEF system/software definition, design, and engineering methods.

Current KBSI software products include the following:

AIØTM

An interactive PC-based tool for function analysis using hierarchical

 

function modeling based on the Air Force IDEFØ Function Modeling

 

Method.

AI1TM

An interactive PC-based tool for information analysis using hierarchical

 

information modeling based on the Air Force IDEF1 Information

 

Modeling Method.

AI1XTM

An interactive PC-based tool for database design using hierarchical data

 

modeling based on the Air Force IDEF1X Data Modeling Method.

AI3TM

An interactive PC/MAC/UNIX-based tool for process and object state

 

analysis using the Air Force IDEF3 Process Description Capture Method.

AI4TM

An interactive UNIX-based tool for structured design of object oriented

 

applications using the Air Force IDEF4 Object-oriented Design Method.

MDSETM

An integrated system that provides design decision support for

 

engineering model development. This system also provides the means for

 

capturing and managing engineering analysis plans and their rationale.

ACCESS

A knowledge based design advisor for the planning and design of heating

 

and air conditioning systems. The primary applications for this system to

 

date have been within the automotive industry.

COOLSYS

A knowledge based advisor for the planning and design of internal

 

combustion engine radiator and water pump designs.

194

COS

A knowledge representation and reasoning system with embedded

 

constraint management tools specifically developed to address the needs

 

of flexible persistent management of long lived reusable knowledge

 

assets.

HPCAD

A C++ based toolkit for development of High Productivity CAD systems.

 

This toolkit supports the development of solid and surface geometry

 

modelers as well as specialized translators for interfacing with existing

 

commercial CAD systems.

KBSI also offers the best available IDEF training. Courses include IDEFØ, IDEF1, IDEF1X, IDEF3, IDEF4, and IDEF5. In addition, we provide IDEF modeling support, model review services, and IDEF courses customized for a particular organization’s needs.

Knowledge Based Systems, Inc. provides systems engineering and systems integration technical support to engineering, manufacturing, and government organizations. The principals at KBSI have extensive experience in IDEFØ, IDEF1, and IDEF1X, and other classic information system analysis and design methods. We are also experienced in developing custom planning systems and artificial intelligence systems for engineering and manufacturing.
