1 Modelling and Simulation Environments for Design, Planning and Operation of Globally Distributed Enterprises Vorstellung auf der ASIM-Fachgruppensitzung Simulation in Produktion und Logistik 20. November 2001

2 Project Overview provides new means for distributed generation of simulation models connecting existing models to one large federation supporting the manufacturing system engineering process by distributing information between teams and detecting conflicts Open platform to connect commercial simulation systems (2 available, further committed) to adapt visualisation and VR systems Standardisation process will be initiated to OMG International Project: Start April 1998, finish March 2002 (4 years duration) European Module Project: Start October 1998, finish September 2001 (3 years duration) European Commission IMS/ESPRIT International coordinator: Shimizu Corporation, Tokyo (Japan) Regional coordinators:, Berlin (Germany) National e of Standards and Technology, Washington D.C.
