Abstract
Most industrial applications in the domains of CAD/CAM/CASE, KBS/DBS as well as that of robotics need to handle a large volume of information whether knowledge or data. In general, these applications require the representation of complex data elements as well as complex relationships among them. Users in these environments have found traditional technology inadequate in terms of flexibility, modeling power and efficiency. Thus, it becomes necessary to develop environments capable of supporting the various paradigms used in large projects. Such environments require a good object representation, efficient programming features, adequate mechanisms for storage and concurrence control and good communications with other software systems. This paper presents the main features of an object-oriented representation model PDM (Property Driven Model) and its implementations. An example is presented for showing the application of the PDM model and the object-oriented programming environment MOSS in the field of mechanical CAD.
Resume
La plupart des applications industrielles dans les domaines de CFAO, SGBD/BC, Robotique demandent le traitement d’un grand volume d’informations. En général, ces applications exigent un modèle de représentation pour des données complexes et des relations compliquées entre celles-ci. Il est nécessaire de développer des environnements pour supporter différents paradigmes utilisés dans les grands projets. De tels projets nécessitent, entre autre, un bon modèle de représentation orienté- objet, un langage de programmation puissant, des mécanismes de sauvegarde des données et de contrôle de cohérence et une interface de communication avec déautres systèmes. Dans cet article, nous présentons les caractéristiques principales du modèle de représentation orienté-objet PDM (Property Driven Model) et la mise en oeuvre de celui-ci. Un exemple d’application du modèle PDM et du langage de programmation orienté-objet MOSS dans le domaine de CAO en mécanique est presenté dans cet article.
