Information System Unit Model of Distributed Manufacturing Enterprises

In order to analyse the function demand of the distributional manufacturing information system as well as its control demand, and eliminate information ambiguity among system units to integrate semantics, the abstract agent model and computational structure of each unit was presented based on the flexible coupling automaton. The autonomy of each unit was investigated in this foundation. The system unit was described using the OWL ontology. And the system semantics was also integrated. On these basics the communication among the system units was illustrated with an example of interaction between a machine and a warehouse. This work established the foundation for the demand analysis, design and development of the distributional manufacture information system
