The Past and the Future of Deds Methodology and its Applications in CIMS
DEDS理论在CIMS中应用研究回顾与展望

The DEDS methodology has provided efficient tools for modelling, analysis and planning of manufacturing systems. In return, manufacturing practices have also provided real-life application environments for DEDS methodology. This paper summarizes the research efforts on DEDS methodology and its applications in CIM systems. Features of DEDS methods are studied and the application scopes of the related DEDS models are further discussed. Finally, the development tendencies of CIMS are briefly introduced, the requirements for future DEDS research imposed by CIMS evolutions are addressed.
