Interoperability and Integration of Industrial Software Tools

Integration of Design Tools and Semantic Interoperability

The integration of software tools used in an engineering process is a problem that arises frequently in large-scale projects. Simple solutions for integration are insufficient in the case of complex engineering tools and processes. The integration solution must also account for the evolution of the system, as tools and processes change over time. This paper shows a new approach to the problem, ...

On Posteriori Integration of Software Tools

This paper tries to define and exampJify the concept of "integration" in the context of soflware development support environments. TIle benefits of tight integration are discussed, together with different approaches on how to achieve this properlY under the constraint of having to include existing software components and tools. The paper finally reports on the initial experience gained in build...

Software Interoperability Tools: Standardized Capability-Profiling Methodology ISO16100

The ISO 16100 series has been developed for Manufacturing software interoperability through capability profiling. Theses international standards are also applicable and usable for developing general software applications including enterprise applications. In this paper, ISO 16100 methodology and its usage in the trial implemented environment are introduced and discussed as software interoperabi...

Study of Tools Interoperability

Interoperability of tools usually refers to a combination of methods and techniques that address the problem of making a collection of tools to work together. In this study we survey different notions that are used in this context: interoperability, interaction and integration. We point out relation between these notions, and how it maps to the interoperability problem. We narrow the problem ar...
