VSO is a powerful, easy to use Colored Petri Net based, system architecture
tool for the Microsoft Windows platform. The unique power of VSO comes from
the ability to design an executable architec ture as simply as other tools, such
as IBM System Architect.


Executable architecture allows a subject matter expert to simulate the dynamic characteristics of
a system over time. Key features of VSO include:

The ability to allow subject matter experts to build individual business components used by an architect to assemble the executable architecture.

The ability for executable components to be constructed without writing code (although code libraries are optionally supported).

Support for the Department of Defense Architecture Framework (Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF)) in VSO architectures.

The ability to execute "what-if" scenarios and perform goal-seeking through iterative execution and results logging and analysis.

The mathematical rigorousness of Colored Petri Net technology.

The ease of use of a Windows application with a standard user interface.

VSO allows any organization?s subject matter experts and architects to perform complex business intelligence analysis using proven technology and an intuitive interface.
