Abstract
We propose a general architecture for Computer Integrated
Manufacturing (CIM) based on the coordination, rather than
integration, of component systems. The coordination process
is achieved through inter-system dependencies controlled by
a central, global coordinator. Coordination, like
integration, may be either data- or application-oriented. In
the case of data-oriented coordination, multidatabase
technologies may be exploited to maintain global data
consistency. For application-oriented coordination, the
global coordinator uses operational dependencies as a basis
for the invocation of methods in remote systems. We examine
each of these orientations in detail and then provide a
comparison of approaches. Specifically, we describe two
prototype systems developed in the context of the CIM/Z
project.
