Towards a Product Oriented Process Modelling for Enterprise Applications Synchronisation and Interoperability

Throughout product lifecycle, coordination needs to be established between reality in the physical world (physical view) and the virtual world handled by manufacturing information systems (informational view). This paper presents the “Holon” modelling concept as a means for the synchronisation of both physical view and informational views. Then, we show how the concept of holon can play a major role in ensuring interoperability in the enterprise applications context.
