Abstract :
The authors describe the research efforts in the Center for Computer Integrated Manufacturing at the Oklahoma State University to develop an object-oriented modeling environment. After providing the underlying motivation for the research effort, they describe some of the major research tasks. Highlights of this development effort consist of the following: physical and information/decision components are modeled separately; a set-theoretic formalism is provided; a model a specification language is critical; and a powerful graphical user interface is essential. Current status and future plans are described
