Abstract
An architecture for a system helps one create an integrated vision. A computer architecture is composed of two elements: a structure and an organization (Lent, 1991). Structure describes the components and their interconnections. Organization presents the dynamical appearance of components and their management according to the selected operational principles. In this chapter, we propose an object-oriented system architecture for CIM applications. We identify a generic framework (i.e. a basic structure — Ehrlich et al., 1980) for the architecture and describe necessary interconnections. We also provide implementation perspectives based on OO concepts.
