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.

这个早期概念探索性研究资助（EAGER）合作项目的目标是进行严格的审查，并为可扩展，适应性和可扩展的制造协议和架构制定一套要求。 信息技术（IT）的革命性进步推动了互联网的无处不在，迅速改变了我们工作、生活和娱乐的方式。互联网技术的影响可以在医疗保健、能源和公共安全等国家优先领域看到。这些进步还促进了网上购物、通信和其他服务市场的电子商务。然而，在制造业的一般领域，由于独特的挑战，这些IT进步的采用并不普遍。有一个很大的需要，以调查有关的问题，网络架构，可以促进一个有机的，社区参与的软件工具的开发。 根据这些需求，计划是确定现有的架构或提出一个创新的架构，为制造环境概述。此体系结构需要支持企业合作伙伴（在更广泛的制造业社区）使用，修改和调整现有的软件工具，使其对自己的活动至关重要，但也要与这种基于网络的体系结构相结合，以便实现各种制造和相关服务活动。这种网络体系结构将寻求培养一个更大的社区-参与开发和响应，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，这样的架构还需要促进相关实体（即，人员、服务、资源）进行调整、修改和协作，以实现从简单到复杂的制造活动。 研究结果将发表在同行评审会议以及其他期刊出版物上，以吸引相关的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。
