The objective of this EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) collaborative project is to conduct a critical review and to develop a set of set of requirements for protocols and architectures for extensible, adaptable, and scalable manufacturing. Revolutionary advances in Information Technology (IT) have fueled the ubiquitous use of the Internet which has rapidly changed the manner in which we work, live and play. Impact of Internet technologies can be seen in diverse areas of national priority such as health care, energy and public safety. These advances have also promoted e-commerce for cyber shopping, communication and other service markets. However, in the general domain of manufacturing, the adoption of these IT advances has not been widespread due to unique challenges. There is a great need to investigate issues related to web-architectures that can foster an organic, community-involved development of software tools. Based on these requirements, the plan is to either identify existing architectures or propose an innovative architecture for the manufacturing context outlined. This architecture needs to enable enterprise partners (in the broader manufacturing community) to use, modify and adapt existing software tools essential to their own activities but also interface with this web-based architecture so that various manufacturing and related service activities can be realized.Such a web architecture will seek to foster a larger community-involved development and response that promotes more widespread use of software tools by the enterprises involved in manufacturing and related activities. At a functional level, such an architecture needs to also facilitate related entities (i.e., humans, services, resources) to adapt, modify and collaborate to achieve simple-to-complex manufacturing activities. Findings will be published in a peer-reviewed conference as well as other journal publications in order to engage the pertinent manufacturing and computer science communities. Findings will also be posted on the project website.

这个探索性研究（EAGER）合作项目的早期概念拨款的目标是进行关键审查，并为可扩展、可适应和可扩展的制造开发一组协议和体系结构的需求。信息技术（IT）的革命性进步推动了互联网无处不在的使用，迅速改变了我们工作、生活和娱乐的方式。在保健、能源和公共安全等国家优先领域，可以看到互联网技术的影响。这些进步也促进了电子商务在网络购物、通信和其他服务市场的发展。然而，在制造业的一般领域，由于独特的挑战，这些IT进步的采用并没有得到广泛应用。我们非常需要调查与web架构相关的问题，这些问题可以促进一个有机的、社区参与的软件工具开发。基于这些需求，计划是确定现有的体系结构或为概述的制造环境提出创新的体系结构。该体系结构需要使企业合作伙伴（在更广泛的制造社区中）能够使用、修改和调整现有的软件工具，这些工具对他们自己的活动至关重要，而且还需要与这个基于web的体系结构进行接口，以便实现各种制造和相关服务活动。这样的网络架构将寻求促进更大的社区参与的开发和响应，从而促进参与制造和相关活动的企业更广泛地使用软件工具。在功能级别上，这样的体系结构还需要促进相关实体（即人员、服务、资源）适应、修改和协作，以实现从简单到复杂的制造活动。研究结果将在同行评议会议以及其他期刊出版物上发表，以吸引相关制造业和计算机科学界的参与。调查结果也将公布在项目网站上。
