Computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) systems are complex in terms of performing a variety of activities, maintaining a range of information and involving various classes of users with differing levels of knowledge and skills, and different levels and time spans of decision making. Much investment and effort has been made to formalize and automate the performance of the CIM elements in a manu...

Computerintegrated manufacturing (CIM) as a strategy helps to improve the performance of a manufacturing ® rm by integrating various ® nancial areas of manufacturing, both in terms of material and information ̄ ow. There are many reports that deal with the technological and operational aspects of CIM, but the issues of integration and adaptability as key objectives in the design and implementat...

ing away from the effect of the phonological rules mentioned, the template of Nicobarese reduplication is a syllable PuC. A standard copyand-association analysis involving a prespecified CVC template will have to somehow insure that the coda segment in a form like cim ends up in coda position. Since prelinked segments, if used at all, must be interpreted conditionally, we are faced with the cho...

Cimetidine (CIM), the prototypical histamine H2 receptor antagonist (H2RA), was brought to market based on its ability to accelerate healing of gastrointestinal ulcers through the inhibition of gastric acid secretion. Cimetidine, the most studied H2RA, has been demonstrated to possess anti-tumor activity against colon, gastric and kidney cancers, and melanomas. This activity involves a number o...

We describe an approach to the realisation of CIM systems through the coordination of autonomous component systems based on the exploitation of multi-database technologies. Each component system is augmented by a CIM Agent which provides a coordination interface; the interface speciies globally important local objects in terms of a global semantic model. System-wide consistency is ensured throu...

CIM is the key to smart grid interoperability. This being the case, we are experimenting with different approaches to utilizing the CIM as a semantic model for Energy applications. In this paper we identify some of the challenges we have encountered applying an OWL representation of the CIM to a common industry application for network model validation. Some challenges have to do with difference...

This paper proposes a method to automatic transformation of CIM level to PIM level respecting the MDA approach. Our proposal is based on creating a good CIM level through well-defined rules allowing as achieving rich models that contain relevant information to facilitate the task of the transformation to the PIM level. We define, thereafter, an appropriate PIM level through various UML diagram....

The Common Information Model (CIM) has been heavily used in electric power grids for data exchange among a number of auxiliary systems such as communication systems, monitoring systems and marketing systems. With an rapid deployment of digitalized devices in electric power networks, the volume of data continuously grows which makes verification of CIM data a challenging issue. This paper presen...
