CIP Method


CIP - Communicating Interacting Processes

CIP is a formal model-based development method for embedded real-time systems; examples include industrial production processes, flexible manufacturing, highly automated devices and communication networks. Model-based methods rely on complete mathematical models. This stays in contrast to semiformal modelling techniques like Structured Analysis or the object-oriented UML approach, where high level models have to be completed by programming.

The CIP method supports the component-oriented paradigm of system construction: After identifying the nature of the problems to be solved, the solution of each problem is developed with suitable methods and tools. CIP components can easily be integrated with other software components, independently of the applied programming paradigm (structured or object-oriented).

 

The Problem
The kind of problems you solve with CIP Tool.

CIP Models
Working with CIP models permits project engineers to concentrate on their actual tasks and to forget about implementation details.

Master and Slave
Master-slave hierarchies allow you to structure complex systems in a problem-oriented way.

Construction
Methodological development concepts help you to find intelligible solutions.
