The research objectives of this EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) award are to explore how emerging next-generation information technologies (IT) can be used to transform current and suggest new manufacturing service scenarios for increased accessibility, flexibility, efficiency and quality in the manufacture of single components and comprehensive products; and to identify current bottlenecks and suggest possible solutions for a significantly higher degree of utilization of these technologies in manufacturing. Several plausible futuristic manufacturing scenarios under the theme Cloud-Manufacturing, will be explored. The planned research tasks are: (1) Detailed delineation, characterization and quantification of manufacturing scenarios; (2) New network protocols; and (3) Semantic manufacturing-web and cloud computing requirements and advances. If successful, this project will bring together experts in the area of manufacturing, computer networks and web-based programming to lay out a blueprint of enabling technologies and architectures for the envisioned futuristic Cloud-Manufacturing paradigm. The work will define future needs for Cloud-Manufacturing in terms of communication, data storage and processing needs. These needs will, therefore, pertain to both software and hardware developments. The work will stimulate more exciting research in the manufacturing, electrical engineering and computer science communities that could potentially lead to new manufacturing paradigms and many start-up companies. This project will offer graduate students multi-disciplinary training and collaborative experiences. Results will be disseminated through workshops, conferences and archival publications.

这项早期概念研究的研究目标（急切）是探索新兴的下一代信息技术（IT）如何用于改变当前的现状，并建议新的制造服务方案，以提高可访问性，灵活性，效率和质量，从而提高单一组件和综合产品的生产；并确定当前的瓶颈并提出可能的解决方案，以明显更高地利用这些技术在制造业中。将探讨主题云制造下的几种合理的未来制造场景。计划的研究任务是：（1）制造场景的详细描述，表征和量化； （2）新的网络协议； （3）语义制造-Web和云计算要求和进步。如果成功的话，该项目将汇集在制造业，计算机网络和基于Web的编程领域的专家，以制定为设想的未来派云制造范式启用技术和架构的蓝图。这项工作将在通信，数据存储和处理需求方面定义云制造的未来需求。因此，这些需求将与软件和硬件开发有关。这项工作将刺激制造，电气工程和计算机科学社区的更令人兴奋的研究，这些研究可能会导致新的制造范式和许多初创公司。该项目将为研究生提供多学科培训和协作经验。结果将通过研讨会，会议和档案出版物传播。
