In order to be able to analyze the complicated object concisely and accurately, you can understand and to be able to agree at one of structuring analysis/the design technique which was developed, it is the technique group which consists of plural conceptual code modeling languages. Other than the design, construction and use of the computer software, illustrating business process, it is utilized in analysis of enterprise activity. 1980 - In the nineties, it was utilized widely inbusinessreformation (BPR),construction of concurrent engineering environment and the propulsion etc. of CALS.
Connecting the sign basically with the line, with the diagram expression tool of the process oriented which describes the structure of the object, by the fact that plural information types are handled, it can express the object which has various qualities from the point of view which differs it is designed in such a way that.
IDEF was developed in the program which is called ICAM which in originally 1973 starts in the Seek Spartan (name of beginning, ICAM Definition Language). This program is something which aims toward the computer integration manufacturing system (CIM) construction of the air force equipment (warplane and the like).
First "IDEF0" "IDEF1" "IDEF2" was defined, in 1983 expanded IDEF1 "IDEF1X" was defined in IISS which is the project which researches the system construction with various mixed environment under ICAM.
In 1993 standard technical laboratory of the American Department of Commerce (NIST: IDEF1X FIPS it is converted as FIPS 184 National Institute of Standards and Technology) with IDEF0 as FIPS 183, also name has become "Integration DEFinition" . In addition, IDEF from the fact that it was developed by public fund (tax of the American people), has become treatment of public domain.
From such thing, IDEF0 and IDEF1/1X are supported to many modelingtoolsand the BPM tool. In addition, IDEF1X has become in factstandardof database design notation (ERD).
After that, the IDEF user group focusing on it can continue argument, the direction which it keeps expanding as the IDEF family is shown. The part of that is developed already by the IICE (Information Integration for Concurrent Engineering) project and the like of the Seek Spartan, is added as
The IDEF family (plan including)
IDEF0 Function modeling (functional modeling)
IDEF1 Information Modeling (information modeling)
IDEF1X Data Modeling (data modeling)
IDEF2 Simulation Modeling (dynamic simulation modeling)
IDEF3 Process Description (process description)
