Environment For Design And Analysis Of System Integration

This paper presents a prototype of an environment to support design and analysis of systems integration. It combines descriptive and analytical methods for the modeling and engineering of system integration. The environment comprises a specialized modeling language for representing a certain class of information, and a modeling methodology for representing, maintaining, and using the information so represented. The system analysis is performed in different levels to consider the static and dynamic aspects. An example of application is presented. © 2001 by Springer Science+Business Media New York.56127134(1993) CIMOSA: Open System Architecture for CIM, , AMICE. 2nd revised and extend version.

Two-level Environment For Supply Chain Management

In today's highly competitive market products have to flow through several organisations to reach the final customer. This flow must be managed considering organization's objectives and supply chain objectives. This paper presents an ongoing development environment for supporting an enterprise to negotiate its interest in the context of integrated supply chain decision process. It is composed of two levels. At the first level the integrated timely production taking into account manly the cost and enterprises capacity is determined. At the second level the demand and production uncertainties and the business rules among enterprises are considered. © 2004 by Springer Science+Business Media New York.134399406Azadivar, F., Simulation Optimization Methodologies (1999) Proceedings of the 1999 Winter Simulation Conference, , December 5-8, Squaw Peak, Phoenix, AZCarvalho, M.F., Fernandes, C.A., Ferreira, P.A., Multiproduct Multistage Production Scheduling (Mmps) for Manufacturing Systems (1999) Production Planning & Control, 7, pp. 671-681. , Taylor & Francis, LondonCarvalho, M.F., Furtado, P.G., Optimization Structures for Supply Chain Management (2002) IFIP-Proceedings of Third Working Conference On Infrastructures For Virtual Enterprises, , PROVE' 03).
