OPEN ENGINEERING AND OPERATIONAL ENVIRONMENT FOR CIMOSA

To use CIMOSA in a convenient way tool support is necessary. Also the execution of models, exercised in VOICE projects, requires tool support. Using the CIMOSA modelling framework VOICE developed a set of tools: EDIMOD, GtVOICE and MCCIM. EDIMOD enables its users to create partial models. GtVOICE contributes to the creation of a consistent particular model describing all views of an enterprise. MCCIM provides the means to execute implementation models and to detect inconsistencies from an operational point of view. Tools that contribute to different aspects of a single goal require a concept for their integration. An approach is suggested that allows these tools to be part of an overall engineering and operational environment.
