Extending IDEF1X to model fuzzy data

摘要

IDEFlX has provided a formal framework for consistent modeling of the data necessary for the integration of various functional areas in computer integrated manufacturing (CIM). The basic idea has been extensively applied in current manufacturing industry. Imprecise and uncertain information, however, is generally involved in many engineering activities. It is especially true for constructing intelligent manufacturing systems. This paper provides extensions to the IDEFlX, which makes it possible to represent fuzzy information.
