About

Actionable architecture to enable your enterprise

MDS has served in multiple capacities

What unifies these offerings is models; creating them, leveraging them, tooling them, and defining them. Whether these systems are physical, social, informational, or application-based, bringing them together into a coherent and actionable architecture is made possible through executable models.

Models are the vehicle to better define, unify and understand complex systems.

Specific modeling paradigms we work with include:

Information, process, and data-based, including semantically-based schema

Systems engineering models, particularly SysML

Semantic models and ontologies including OWL and the semantic web

Software models, including UML for object modeling
