Defining System Architecture
Published in John P.T. Mo, Ronald C. Beckett, Engineering and Operations of System of Systems, 2018
The European Strategic Programme on Research and Development for Information Technology (ESPRIT) was a large-scale research program funded by the European Union in the 1980s. The first ESPRIT program, resulting in 226 projects, cost 1.5 billion euros while the second ESPRIT program cost 3.2 billion euros. The Computer Integrated Manufacturing Open Systems Architecture (CIMOSA) was developed under ESPRIT Project 688 by the AMICE Consortium with several other participants, including Aerospatiale, GRAI, Hewlett-Packard, ENSIDESA, NLR, AT&T, FIAT, Italsiel, Alcatel, Capgemini, Digital, Daimler-Benz, IBM, ICL, Siemens, WZL RWTH Aachen, and others.
Application of Reference Architectures for Enterprise Integration
Published in Cornelius Leondes, Computer-Aided Design, Engineering, and Manufacturing, 2019
The goal of the ESPRIT project AMICE (reverse acronym of European Computer Integrated Manufacturing Architecture) was to develop an Open System Architecture for CIM (CIMOSA). The project started in the mid-1980s and finished after some extensions in the mid-1990s. CIMOSA should facilitate continuous enterprise evolution and make necessary operational improvements manageable. At the same time, CIMOSA should provide a strategy to deal with legacy systems to protect current and planned investment in an enterprise's production process. CIMOSA aims to offer support for enterprise integration, more precisely for “business integration” and “application integration” (AMICE, 1993a).
Selected Sections of Information Management

In past years, there have been several attempts to translate the complexity of an information system into a concept for development of information systems. A research consortium in an EU project developed the modeling framework called CIMOSA (Computer Integrated Manufacturing Open System Architecture). See here [Espr93]. The CIMOSA approach is the basis of numerous further models and tool sets. Probably the best known of the tool sets is the ARIS (Architecture of Integrated Information Systems) Tool Set [Sche00]. See here also [Sche98c]. Figure 20.2.2.1 shows the ARIS model as a house with three dimensions:
A decision support system for strategic supply chain capacity planning under uncertainty: conceptual framework and experiment

The ISO 19439 standard is based on the CIMOSA (CIMOSA Association 2004) and GERAM (IFIP/IFAC Task Force on Architectures for Enterprise Integration 1999) frameworks. It structures the enterprise modelling according to three dimensions inherited from the CIMOSA framework: the enterprise model view, the enterprise model phase, and the genericity. The SSCCP DSS conceptual framework can be positioned as follows regarding these three dimensions. First, on the enterprise model view dimension, it mainly concerns the functional view because it is focused on the sequence of activities to be performed by the company. Second, on the enterprise model phase dimension, it is mainly related to the first phases (including concept definition, requirements definition and design specification phases) and also on the implementation description phase for the experiments described in the fifth section. Third, on the genericity dimension, it is part of the partial level because the proposal is specific to all industrial enterprises involved in supply chains.
EOS: enterprise operating systems

In the mid 1980s, under the framework of the European ESPRIT Programme, the AMICE consortium launched the CIMOSA project (CIM Open System Architecture) to develop Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) solutions (AMICE 1993). One of the results of the project is a proposal of an ‘Integrating InfraStructure’ (IIS) for CIM. This is the first ambitious initiative to combine enterprise model execution and enterprise information integration in one platform to develop large integrated manufacturing systems. Although the proposal did not lead to any commercial product, its concepts and principles have been reused in several initiatives after the project.
