Abstract
The authors intention is to demonstrate how the principles of the federated database systems and the mediator approach can be applied for mastering the software systems integration problems in the distributed production management. This chapter gives an insight into the Institute’s internal research on the integration mechanisms for tailoring autonomous and heterogeneous systems in a multi-site production environment. This research combines results of several CEC ESPRIT and national projects and is focused on integration of already existing, independent software systems — mostly large commercial products. An integration approach chosen is based on both tightly and loosely coupled federations with mediators as building blocks for virtual interfaces. As a data exchange mechanism a Common Object Request Broker Architecture is applied.
