Motivated by the challenges of seeking the optimal E-business based maintenance, repair and overhaul (E-MRO) service policy, simultaneously considering bilateral requirements of quality of service (QoS), this paper presents a mathematical model based on variable fuzzy recognition and multi-objective programming. Cloud model is utilized to quantify the information of bilateral requirements as the numerical...
Cloud Manufacturing can provide mass manufacturing resources and capabilities as services via the Internet. Undoubtedly, multiple manufacturing clouds (MCs) will have extremely abundant services in terms of function, price, etc. The ability to leverage ample services hosted in MCs has direct relation to the success or failure of a manufacturer. Meanwhile, various uncertainties in today's highly-dynamic...
This paper presents a novel ontological view-based semantic transformation method to address the semantic heterogeneity design issue of open distributed information systems. After carefully reviewing the traditional ontology definitions, this work extends the ontological view concept to represent the partial knowledge about the same business domain in an open environment where common ontology does...
Virtual enterprise (VE) is the prime organization pattern of manufacturing in the 21st century, which generally is regarded as a management method for entity enterprise (EE), namely traditional enterprise, to realize agile manufacture using exterior resources. VE's performance management may be considered as the extension of the entity enterprise performance management. Based on the balanced score...
This paper presents a formulation and an algorithm for the winner determination problem in auction-based scheduling. Without imposing a time line discretization, the proposed approach allows bidders to bid for the processing of a set of jobs using a requirement-based bidding language, which naturally represents scheduling constraints. The proposed winner determination algorithm uses a depth first...
