Object resource systems-a complete integration approach?

The article describes an approach to the design of object systems within a CIM environment. Current CIM systems are based on organisational decomposition, where software modules are developed to correspond to existing enterprise management structures. Using an object environment, enterprise resources can be presented as virtual models. This allows a functional decomposition, resulting in the requirement for a command control and communication (C³) module. In order to successfully implement an integrated enterprise environment using a resource-based architecture the consistency design principle was developed where each resource is responsible for its own actions. The C ³ design resulting from this concept demonstrates generic mechanisms, configured by data, with minimum code
