Multi-criterion analysis of reference architectures and modeling languages used in production systems modeling

Due to the environment within which they are currently developing, production systems make use of new organizing and operation methods as well as the support which information and communication technology has to offer in order to remain competitive and to survive on the market. Within this context, the present paper describes, in a pluridisciplinary approach and by means of the multi-attribute decision method, the methods of selecting the reference architecture and modeling languages which are perfect candidates for implementation in the process of modeling and integration of the company´s compartments and of the company with the upstream and downstream organizations.
