SGER: Russian-American Virtual Enterprise Network (RAVEN)

本研究的目的是探索建立一个基于互联网的虚拟制造企业的方法，该企业将连接美国和俄罗斯。主要的研究工作集中在研究开发系统的初步架构、物理网络、硬件、软件和接口的方法，并建立一个原型。虚拟制造的几个试点项目将建立在现有的美俄制造研究合作的基础上，以实现网络技术能力的概念验证演示。该工作通过在概念验证测试平台中连接两个非常不同的制造系统来探索虚拟制造中的新概念。如果成功，其结果可作为开发更普遍的虚拟企业网络的模型，这种网络可由因距离、语言和文化而分散的制造商共同使用。

The primary research effort focuses on investigating the means to develop a preliminary architecture, physical network, hardware, software and interface for the system, and to build a prototype. Several pilot projects in virtual manufacturing will build on existing U. S.- Russian manufacturing research collaborations to implement a proof-of-concept demonstration of the technical capabilities of the network. The work explores novel concepts in virtual manufacturing by linking two very different manufacturing systems in a proof-of-concept testbed. If successful, the results could be used as a model for the development of a more general virtual enterprise network that could be used jointly by manufacturers widely separated by distance, language and culture.
