Abstract

CIMOSA is an open systems architecture for CIM developed by the ESPRIT Consortium AMICE. It is based on a three-stage, process-based enterprise modelling approach, partly covering the enterprise life cycle. It covers functional/behavioural, information, resource and organisation aspects of an integrated enterprise at various modelling levels. It structures CIM systems as sets of distributed, cooperative agents (called functional entities) linked by an integrating infrastructure to timely execute the many concurrent business processes of manufacturing enterprises. This paper discusses in which way CIMOSA fulfils GERAM (the Generic Enterprise Reference Architecture and Methodology) requirements, as defined by the IFAC/IFIP Task Force on Architectures for Enterprise Integration.
