- Special Issue on CIM Taxonomies
-
- Call for Papers
-
- CIM is clearly a multi-disciplinary area in which multiple views have
- to be accommodated and certainly a too large a subject to be mastered
- by a single person or research group. Attempts to offer a general
- overview of the field, as in existing books or overview papers, mostly
- present particular views of their authors or the perspective of a
- particular "school", biased by their origins or scientific background.
- This has meant that no common taxonomic decomposition of CIM
- activities can be found. During recent years many international
- projects, namely in the framework of the European Community R & D
- programmes, have devoted considerable effort to establishing internal
- taxonomies / common glossaries as a prerequisite for cooperative work.
- The main goal of some of these projects has been the establishment of
- common reference models for CIM. Gathering the results of such
- efforts could be expected to contribute to a wider understanding of
- the area. This special issue of the Journal is an attempt to organize,
- compare and make publicly available such taxonomies and basic
- glossaries in order to facilitate a dialogue among experts from
- different fields that necessarily have to cooperate to make CIM a
- reality.
-
- Especially welcome are taxonomy proposals and basic glossaries on:
- -General CIM engineering activities / General reference models
- -Product design and modelling
- -Manufacturing Systems design
- -Production Planning and Control
- -Process and execution planning
- -Shop floor control and supervision.
-
- The contents of typical papers should include: taxonomic structure,
- definition of terms (basic), interrelationships between terms (other
- than taxonomic), pointers to "reference" projects / works or brief
- summaries on state of the art, identification of main support
- methodologies / scientific disciplines.
-
- Contributions should be sent to:
