“…The M* methodology (Di Leva et al, 1987, 1988) was originally developed for design and analysis of information systems of CIM environments. It has now been extended to the analysis and design of reactive systems, such as design and manufacturing systems.…”

“…Process integration requires a sound and open information system but also relies on a common shared vision of the project provided by the &dquo;business process map&dquo; that is an organisation model. Some specific models and methodologies have been proposed in the literature for modelling engineering information systems such as SAM*- (Su, 1986), M* (Di Leva et al, 1987), or TSER (Hsu and Rattner, 1990). …”

Concurrent engineering and integrated manufacturing environments rely on the management of concurrent business processes supported by integrated information systems These business processes and the underlying information systems must be engineered in a systematic way to guarantee compliance with business requirements and overall system consistency and efficiencyIn this paper, the organisation model of the M*-OBJECT methodology is presented as a tool to model business processes and specify design requirements on the information system It covers functional, behavioural, information, and organisation aspects It includes a workflow model, an object flow model, and an interaction model Then it is shown how conceptual design models can be derived from organisation models M*-OBJECT strongly enforces an event-driven process-based approach at all levels as opposed to traditional function-based approaches for analysing and designing computer-supported integrated engineering environments

“…At the design-specification level, the AMICE project has selected the entity relationship attribute (ERA) approach first proposed by Chen (1976) and later extended in the M* methodology (Di Leva et al 1986). The ERA methodology adopted is used to transform the object-oriented information description obtained at the requirements-definition level into an unambiguous semantic data-oriented model at the design-specification level.…”

“…The internal schema is concerned with definition of the storage structures of files and databases to be implemented, storage tuning for performance considerations, and final specifications of external schemata and database transaction definitions using data languages of the target implementation systems. The information modelling and analysis methodology being defined for CIM -OSA is largely based on recent work concerning the SAM' model (Su 1986) and the M' methodology for CIM information system modelling and analysis (Di Leva et al 1986, Vernadat et at. 1989.…”

Basic concepts and the function view of an opensystems architecture for modelling CIM systems, called CIM -OSA, have been presented in Part I of this paper. In this second part, the information view of CfM -OSA is discussedfor modelling information systems of CIM systems at three distinct levels (requirements definition, design specification and implementation description). To serve this purpose, the CIM -OSA information modelling paradigm makes use of an object-entity relationship attribute (OREA) approach which is described.

“…Requirements for CIM applications are now usually modelled using classical approaches based on SADT/IDEF0 (see, e.g., the ICAM project [HDM88]) or MERISE (see, e.g., the M* project [LVB87]) or a combination of these approaches. New approaches are now emerging with the objectives of (i) increasing the degree of expressiveness, i.e.…”

It is now widely recognised that methods are needed for coveting the whole lifecycle of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) applications. In this paper, we deal with the requirements engineering phase of this lifeeycle. A formal language is introduced for capturing real-time requirements expressed on CIM applications. The resulting speeitication is structured as a society of 'agents', each of them being charactefised by (i) its responsibility with respect to changes happening in the system and (ii) the perception of the behaviour of other agents. On top of illustrating the use of the language on a small case-study, we also suggest some methodological guidance in the elaboration of requirements for large CIM applications. KEYWORDS: O-O requirements engineenng, agents, actions, formal language, CIM applications, elaboration of the requirements document.* The input stock can neverbe empty. * A rivet cannot stay indefinitely in the input stock.
