This Technical Report describes an approach for using ISO16100 and ISO18435 to specify information exchange requirements between applications. This approach is based on the use of ISO18435 application interaction matrix element (AIME)/application domain matrix element (ADME) templates in conjunction with ISO16100 manufacturing software unit (MSU) capability profiles.
This Technical Report also provides an example approach as applied to describing the interoperability requirements of the integrated smart pump application, which comprises the pump control application and the pump diagnostics application.
