their informational views in manufacturing
environment. Then, we introduced how the holon
approach can be used for enterprise interoperability
issues. Afterwards, an implementation of our
approach in a commercial CASE tool is presented.
We also establish a translation mechanism based on
meta-model mappings that enables applications
using the holonic meta-model to exchange models
with other applications based on different meta-
models, this mechanism is based on the MDA
approach for interoperability.
Ongoing works handle experimentation of the
overall approach in an industrial case study, this
work is used to verify usability and limits of the
approach in real larger scale experiments. Tests are
organised into two classes, testing the modelling
approach in a real industrial environment and testing
the interoperability issues; results are to be published
in future papers.
