Ein Konzept für die Datenhaltung in der fertigungsnahen Mikrosystemtechnik

This work presents results generated during the PRINCE project. PRINCE is
an acronym for PRocess INformation and management CEnter. The aim of the
project was the support of the design of microsystems with special attention
to the technology driven aspects of the design. The technology driven design
(design for manufacturing) support is until now only marginally available.
Within the project a systematic analysis of the technology driven design was
performed. It turns out that a lot of data is accumulated. Also most of the
collected data is somehow related. Therefore the organized management of
data is a key topic in the design of microsystems.
Starting from this realization methods for data management were researched
for adequacy. Among the methods known in computer science the relational
database was selected. As a result a relational database scheme is presented.
All collected data can be stored and related in a useful manner using this scheme.
Furthermore an extension of this scheme is presented that enhances it with
methods from object oriented modelling. The usage of inheritance and multiple
inheritance is discussed in detail.
With the PRINCE software a system is presented that puts the model into practical
use. Using modern technologies like Java and J2EE the software enables
collaborative work among users with different hardware platforms.
