Abstract

The study presents a detailed survey on the current state-of-the-art object-oriented methodologies and representation methods in the development of complex automated manufacturing systems (AMSs). The study focuses on the suitability and usability of these methodologies, with a view to solving the complex problem of system analysis and design by modelling and prototyping. The results obtained from this study are expected to facilitate the appropriate selection of object-oriented techniques for the development of AMSs, and also to provide guidance to system engineers that adopt object-orientation as a tool for building manufacturing systems.
