Integrating Infrastructures for Manufacturing, J. Goossenaerts, F. Kimura, H. Wortmann (Eds.)

The book elaborates on the information infrastructure needed by manufacturing enterprises in order to share information and to co-ordinate decisions and control.. The infrastructure should feature common methods and integrated applications for shop floor control, order processing, contract negotiation and co-operation in product and process development.

The book addresses five main topics:
1) co-ordination and systemisation of information processing requirements and their synthesis into comprehensive conceptional models;
2) development of information infrastructures;
3) design of control architectures;
4) conceptional modelling for extended enterprises and product life cycles;
5) definition of information and communication services for enterprise co-operation.

The book offers an interdisciplinary view of designing and implementing information infrastructures for the manufacturing industry and discusses the application and dissemination of enterprise modelling and integration concepts.
