Metamodels for Information System Modeling in Production Environments
Gabriela Susana Mannarino, Gabriela Patricia Henning, Horacio Leone · 1997
Production environment models can assist the goal of enterprise integration by helping to represent, and later, analyze and evaluate the structure of the enterprise activities and the interactions among them. This paper presents advances in the development of an open model architecture consisting of three layers: (i) Metamodel layer, (ii) Model layer and (iii) Universe of Discourse layer. The contribution focuses on the introduction of task and domain metamodels to be used as templates in the construction of a production environment model library. In order to develop such models the Object Technology, enriched with the concepts of version, perspective and evolution was adopted.
