Abstract :
The CIM model, processes, and related tooling have evolved considerably in recent years. This panel session will be an opportunity to share some of the recent advances in terms of standards, processes, and understanding of how to effectively utilize the information model. Tooling advances have been considerable in the course of the last year, with the emergence of several open source or free tools made available from both universities and commercial businesses. The CIM source model is now available in a much more accessible UML tool. Commercial interests, recent projects, tooling, and standards advances appear to be at a tipping point in terms of widespread usage of the CIM model and related standards.
