D. Chen et al., GRAI INTEGRATED METHODOLOGY AND ITS MAPPING ONTO GENERIC ENTERPRISE REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE AND METHODOLOGY, Computers in industry, 33(2-3), 1997, pp. 387-394
The paper presents the basic concepts of GERAM (generic enterprise ref
erence architecture and methodology) developed recently by the IFAC/IF
IP Task Force on Architectures for Enterprise Integration, and the GRA
I integrated methodology (GIM) elaborated by GRAI/LAP (Laboratory. of
Automation and Productics) of University Bordeaux I. The focus of the
paper is on the comparison and mapping of GIM onto GERAM and shows tha
t the basic concepts of these two approaches converge. (C) 1997 Elsevi
