Abstract :
An AI-centered view on the recent trends in the computer integrated manufacturing (CIM) area is presented. The shift in the CIM-software concepts towards both the object-oriented philosophy and the fast-prototyping methodology was simulated by the AI-theoretical backgrounds. The software life cycle models developed in the area of knowledge engineering are compared to the CIM-software development methodologies and the product life cycle models. There seems to be a close similarity between both areas. This recognized analogy can serve as the theoretical foundations of concurrent engineering. The recent results and tools provided by the AI-planning and scheduling area for the CIM-engineering are briefly sketched with emphasis on the role of declarative programming
