Object-Oriented Models in an Integration of CAD/CAPP/CAP Systems

In this paper some aspects of CAD/CAPP/CAP systems integration process are described. Moreover, the structure of an integrated environment, which is an answer to this kind of integration problem is shown. Main elements of this environment are technological knowledge base - TKB and scheduling knowledge base - SKB. The foundation for building these knowledge bases was application of object methods in processes of technological and scheduling knowledge representation. In the paper both models it means the object model of technological knowledge representation and scheduling knowledge representation are discussed in details.
