Modelling information manufacturing systems

Modelling information manufacturing systems

The manufacture of an information product (IP) is akin to the manufacture of a physical product. Current approaches to model such information manufacturing systems (IMS), lack the ability to systematically represent the dynamic changes involved in manufacturing (or creating) an IP. They also have limitations to consistently include aspects of process and information management at an organisatio...

Modelling traceability systems in food manufacturing chains

Traceability in food chains will be mandatory in the near future for the most companies interested in food processing. Every food chain is made up of a variable number of companies. To realize a full traceability system we propose a distributed collaborative information system where every company exchanges traceability data with the others over a network. XML was used as the format to represent...

Manufacturing Systems Modelling, Specification and Analysis

Modelling, specification and analysis of manufacturing systems require different forms of modelling to analyse their functional, behavioural, information, resource and management aspects at two major levels of details. The first level, called macro-level, is concerned with high-level system design, analysis and specification for which a consistent and precise system description is required. The...

ii And you see that every time I made a further division, up came more boxes based on these divisions until I had a huge pyramid of boxes. Finally you see that while I was splitting the cycle up into finer and finer pieces, I was also building a structure. This structure of concepts is formally called a hierarchy and since ancient times has been a basic structure for all Western knowledge.
