Abstract
The distributed computing communication needs of computer-integrated manufacturing (CIM) are discussed. The capabilities of MAP/TOP (manufacturing automation protocol/technical and office protocol) as a communications architecture are examined. An example of how MAP/TOP operates in a hypothetical CIM enterprise is presented.<>
