New Processes Initiated
UML® Profile for BPMN™ Processes RFP
Architects supporting defense and business communities using a UML-based tool chain would like to use BPMN for modeling processes within that chain. This requires using UML diagrams and BPMN process diagrams seamlessly together, along with an interchange format that can convey the combined usage, within UML tools. This RFP aims to enable users to visualize UML models with BPMN process notation.
Robotics Interaction Service (RoIS) Framework RFP
This RFP solicits proposals for a Platform Independent Model (PIM) and a Platform Specific Model (PSM) for robotic interaction service (RoIS) that specify: common interfaces between robotic service applications and components that provide functions for performing human-robot interaction; and data structures for each interface.
Dynamic Deployment and Configuration for Robot Technology Components RFP
This RFP solicits proposals for the dynamic deployment and configuration for Robot Technology (RT) components. In particular, the RFP is looking for: Ways to search for and deploy Robotic Technology Components (RTC) into robotic systems at run-time; ways to notify the relevant RTC instances of environment changes; and ways to search for appropriate RTC instances and dynamically configure them.
Application Programming Interfaces for Knowledge Base(s) RFP
This RFP targets mainly the basic administration services as well as the retrieval and the modification of knowledge in a Knowledge Base (KB) designed specifically for use with knowledge representation languages supported by OMG standards, including but not limited to those supported by the Ontology Definition Metamodel (ODM).
Integrating the descriptive power of SysML models with the analytic and computational power of Modelica models provides a capability that is significantly greater than SysML or Modelica individually. The objectives of this document are to enable and specify a standardized bi-directional transformation between the two modeling languages that will support implementations to efficiently and automatically transfer the modeling information transfer between SysML and Modelica models without ambiguity.
