Abstract
This chapter intends to give an overview on models, architectures and methods for the CIM systems design. We start from presenting the basic concepts and definitions of CIM, model, architecture and methodology, as well as the concepts of the economic and human aspects of CIM. Then we present some early work performed in the 1970–80s; ICAM, CAM-I, NBS, SADT, SSAD, GRAI, MERISE and SSADM. Following this there is a state-of-the-art evaluation of the work performed within the ESPRIT Program, particularly MMCS, E932 knowledge based factory model, PAC model, CIMOSA, IMPACS and FOE We also give an overview on recent CIM architecture work in the USA, and in particular the Purdue Reference Model and Enterprise Reference Architecture and the EIP approach. Some IT vendor based approaches are also presented such as the IBM model and the Digital model. The CIM architecture work performed in the Asia and Pacific area is not ignored. Simulation models for manufacturing systems are also mentioned. The object oriented approach for CIM systems design performed by IPK Berlin, Germany and recent developments on the GRAIGIM methodology and ECOGRAI at the GRAI laboratory in France are also reported.
