The SUKITS Project: An Approach to a posteriori Integration of CIM Components

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Informatik aktuell ((INFORMAT))

Abstract

The SUKITS Project (Software and Communication Structures in Technical Systems) is a joint research project of different institutions of the Aachen University of Technology which is funded by the German Research Council (DFG-Forschergruppe). It aims at integrating existing CIM components as tightly as possible. The solution is to study and to implement a CIM manager consisting of two basic components on top of which integration is to be realized: A component in which information about all CIM documents, relations between documents, tasks and processes is stored which altogether have to be consistent with a CIM schema to be defined in advance. We call this component object administration system. The second basic component is the communication structure, which enables the physical interconnection of CIM components as well as the transparent exchange of information between them. The following paper discusses the overall approach to the solution and gives some details about the goals, both with respect to software engineering, data base and network communication technology.
