Applying Ada Programming Support Environment (APSE) Concepts for Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS) Solutions.

Abstract

This thesis compares the concepts of Ada Programming Support Environments (APSE) and Computer Integrated Manufacturing Systems (CIMS) to see if they are similar enough to apply APSE concepts for solving CIMS problems. After establishing a discussion baseline for each of the concepts, the objectives, design guidelines and pictorial representations of an APSE and a CIMS are first compared. Then the two concepts are compared at the database, interfaces and toolset level. The major differences between an APSE and a CIMS are also identified. Finally, after establishing that similarities do exist between APSE and CIMS concepts, recommendations are made for applying APSE concepts for CIMS solutions that will contribute to achieving Air Force as well as U.S. manufacturing goals.
