Enterprise Integration concerns itself with the availability of planning and operational information at the right place at the right time. Modelling the enterprise operation in a process model provides the base for identification of information needs and its origin. Information which is concerned with the flow of control of the Business Processes and the inputs and outputs of Enterprise Activities not only of its function I/O's but of its resource and control I/O's as well. Using information technology for model engineering and model based operation control and monitoring requires a common set of modelling constructs and an Integrating Infrastructure to support model creation and execution in heterogeneous manufacturing and information technology environments. CIMOSA provides a solution for enterprise integration supporting both model engineering and model execution. The CIMOSA - Technical Baseline provides the technical specifications on CIMOSA.
In addition to the Hypertext Document which only contains the technical specifications of CIMOSA Business Modelling and the related part of the CIMOSA glossary, the full version is available on paper providing sections with descriptions of the different constructs for IT modelling as well as the specification of the Integrating Infrastructure (Part II) and formal notations (including EXPRESS notations of the modelling constructs - Part III). The CIMOSA Model Creation Process (Part IV still under preparation) and the CIMOSA glossary (Part V) complement the specifications of CIMOSA.
