The IFIP-IFAC Task Force on Enterprise Integration operates as a joint effort between IFIP (WG5.12) and IFAC (TC MIA) that form the respective IFIP and IFAC arms of the Task Force.
The Task Force carries out its work through voluntary contributions of its members, who obtain funding through their respective institutional, private or government channels.
The Task Force has mandates for defined periods and tasks, and produces its results in form of reports and other publications in the open literature, or recommendations for standards bodies. Since the IFIP and IFAC World congresses are one year apart, the confirmation of the Task Force mandate is usually done in two consecutive years.
By May 2002, The IFIP-IFAC Task Force successfully completed its mission and its final report is available. (also in pdf format).
A new Task Force is proposed from the end of 2002 on Enterprise Modelling (pending IFIP-IFAC approval) [watch this space].
IFIP WG5.12 and IFAC TC MIA will carry on work on the furthering of the GERAM Framework, which includes the harmonisation with Software Engineering, Systems Engineering, developments of frameworks, like PERA, CIMOSA, GIM, Zachman, C4ISR (DoDAF), etc.
A major future event (ICEIMT 2004) is planned in Toronto.
The scope of work: of the Task Force for the triennium 1999-2002 is described in a separate Mandate document
