Abstract :
The authors discuss integration aspects of CIM (computer-integrated manufacturing) systems with many communicating enterprises, units, and users. Communicating nodes are modeled as nested enterprise objects. An enterprise object consists of an active agent, applications, and other enterprise objects. The distributed hypermedia paradigm is used as a framework for integration, and the consequent generic message structure is discussed. The features of an extended form concept and a pilot implementation of the model are discussed
