Cloud-based Modelling Solutions Empowering Tool Integration
IncQuery Labs provides cloud-based modeling solutions to enable tool integration in model-based systems engineering (MBSE). Their IncQuery tool suite includes a desktop query authoring tool and backend server that allows running complex queries on large models. IncQuery was used to develop an interoperability platform for Airbus that automates workflows involving transformations between modeling tools and generates reports through a web interface.

Editor's Notes
- #7 In model-based systems engineering of complex cyber-physical systems, different stakeholders need to collaborate closely with the help of complex system models while still protecting their respective intellectual properties. This necessitates efficient collaborative tools for handling multiple versions of large models by restricting access to designated collaborators while providing continuous support for traceability.
- #16 IncQuery Server for Teamwork Cloud seamlessly integrates as a query middleware service with frontend systems modeling tools like MagicDraw and Cameo Collaborator, and server-side model repositories like Teamwork Cloud. A model crawler systematically discovers the designated versions and revisions of a model... ... and then builds a persistent index as well as an in-memory index Model queries initiated from the modeling frontends are efficiently served by the VIATRA query engine by exploiting the indexing Queries, indexes and model discovery can be uniformly managed using the IncQuery Server Web Console. IncQuery Server can be deployed over a scalable cloud infrastructure with separate clusters for query execution, indexing and model storage.
