Enterprise Engineering and Integration: Building International Consensus: Proceedings of ICEIMT 97, International Conference on Enterprise Integratio [Paperback]

ICEIMT '97 is the second International Conference on Enterprise Integration and Modeling Technology. Like the first, it is the main event of a European-US initiative on building consensus in enterprise engineering and integration - supported in Europe by Esprit and in the USA by DOC/NIST. These proceedings contain papers presented at the conference and at five international workshops preceding the conference. The workshops addressed integration issues related to people and organization, metrics and standardization, applications, fundamentals and principles, and users and vendors. The conference papers present points of view of users, vendors, and researchers, the current state of research and development worldwide, and the needs to be identified and summarized in project proposals.I: Conference Papers.- Opening Session.- Enterprise Integration and Standardization  A European View.- Enterprise Integration  A United States View.- Session 1: Enterprise Integration.- Enterprise Reference Architectures  A Research Portfolio.- Enterprise Integration in the User Industries  Needs and Current Solutions.- Enterprise System / Control System Integration Scheme.- Development of Integrated Enterprise Models.- Session 2: The ICEIMT Initiative  An Overview.- A Standardization Strategy that Matches Enterprise Operation.- Enterprise Integration  International Consensus: A Europe-USA Initiative.- Sessions 35: ICEIMT Results.- A Human Factors Taxonomy and Human Modeling in Enterprises Workshop 1, Working Group 1.- Human Factors and Enterprise Integration Workshop 1, Working Group 2.- Changes in Organization and Process Structures Workshop 1, Working Group 3.- Assessing Enterprise Integration for Competitive Advantage Workshop 2, Working Group 1.- Enterprise Integration Deployment  Migration of Existing Applications Workshop 3, Working Group 1.- Research for Advanced Enterprise Integration Standards Workshop 3, Working Group 2/3.- Enterprise Modeling  User Semantics Workshop 4lc#
