    Product gestaltung is a complex task which is dependent on the product and related processes. An increasing need for dedicated application systems can be recognized in industry in order to enable the computer integration of the factory. The paper describes three approaches for system architectures to fulfill the demand for flexible integration.

    Future generations of CAD systems are expected to offer powerful support for the functional, geometrical and technological description of products. New intelligent simulation techniques, as well as comprehensive information access capabilties will open novel and comfortabel possibilities for product modelling. Subsequently, the result will be a real chance for direct cooperation of human creativity and discernment with artificial abilities of information processing systems to draft analyze technical products. Owing to the availability of novel resources the scope of computer supported actions will increase. Integration of design and technological planning will be possible in future.

    CAD technology has already repeatedly penetrated the technical areas of industrial companies and does influence the conventional structure of development, design, planning and manufacturing. This grant positive economic effects which however are faced with a multitude of problems to which both, supplier and user are exposed. Today's CAD systems, as an indispensable part of a growing CIM environment, are still far from being integratable under a uniform data model for the description of products, equipment and processes. Therefore, the indicates difficulties require measures to create an order-supporting basis for present and future generations of CAD systems. A CAD Reference Model could help to compare different CAD systems, to find solutions which enable CAD systems to communicate with other CAD or engineering systems on different levels, to support development of existing and new CAD systems and to set up rules for international standardization. As a first step to a CAD Reference Mod el, a system architecture is presented in this paper which has been elaborated by expert group within computer aided design and engineering of the "Gesellschaft für Informatik (GI)".
