Cloud Manufacturing is one of the most attractive modes with the features of “service-based manufacturing” and “manufacturing-oriented service”. In the paper, the concepts, characteristics, and three roles of the platform for Cloud Manufacturing are introduced, and six deployment manners of the Cloud Manufacturing platform are suggested. Key issues that must be settled so as to implement the Cloud Manufacturing technologies into real design and manufacturing activities are discussed. It is hopeful that the contribution of the paper can promote the study, the research and the development of the Cloud Manufacturing for future.

This paper put forward the theory of processing behavior through research on conceptual system of advanced manufacturing technologies and production modes such as cloud manufacturing and systematic classification of processing technology, and gave the concept of processing behavior primitive element. The processing behavior was classified and the relationship between different levels of processing behavior was clarified. To realize the standardization of NC processing technology for parts of automatic turning programming. Embed turning behavior into the design elements, realize the combination of design and manufacturing, shorten the time and space of coordination and product cycle, reduce product design and manufacturing costs, and achieve green, low consumption, high quality, high efficiency and effective manufacturing of turning parts.

In order to realize sharing and collaboration of manufacturing resource and manufacturing capability based on knowledge and to realize added value of manufacturing resource and manufacturing capability. In this paper, we propose an ontology-based architecture for cloud manufacturing platform. Meanwhile, several key issues for cloud manufacturing platform including semantic description of manufacturing resource and manufacturing capability, manufacturing cloud service advertisement, manufacturing cloud service discovery and manufacturing cloud service composition are studied in particular. Thus, the research provides foundation for the future research, development, implementation and application of cloud manufacturing platform.

Centralized management and sharing of manufacturing resources is one of the important functions of cloud manufacturing platform. There are many kinds of manufacturing resources, centralized management, optimized scheduling, quick searching for various manufacturing resources become important issues in a cloud manufacturing platform. This paper presents a resource management model based on metadata to realize the access and unified management of the hardware resources, software resources and knowledge resources. Two management approaches respectively for static and dynamic resource data are introduced to realize resource state monitoring and real-time information collecting. On this basis, the relationship between static and dynamic data is determined and service-oriented of resources is realized.

This chapter aims to provide a new readiness matrix called ‘innovative manufacturing readiness levels (IMRLs)’ to evaluate and assess the areas of micro and nanotechnology maturity including their performance. The study employs a case study approach through which the practicability and applicability of the IMRLs conceptual matrix were verified and confirmed. A case study with laser-based manufacturing technologies explores the stages of micro and nano technologies (MNTs)’ maturity, including the key issues and performances that contributed to the development of a new assessment tool. Concerning intense global R&D competition in MNTs, this study exhibits a forward-looking approach in assessing MNTs maturity and performance. A generic conclusion is reached by which product designers and technology managers position themselves and take into account risk reduction exercises related to MNTs. The novelty of the research could be that organizations, which develop and use MNTs, have an opportunity in applying such a specific assessment matrix to quantify the technology readiness of unreleased MNTs.

The growth and convergence of wireless telecommunications and ubiquitous networks has created a tremendous potential platform for providing business services. In consumer markets, mobile marketing is likely to be a key growth area. The immediacy, interactivity, and mobility of wireless devices provide a novel platform for marketing. The personal and ubiquitous nature of devices means that interactivity can, ideally, be provided anytime and anywhere. However, as experience has shown, it is important to keep the consumer in mind. Mobile marketing permission and acceptance are core issues that marketers have yet to fully explain or resolve. This chapter provides direction in this area. After briefly discussing some background on mobile marketing, the chapter conceptualises key characteristics for mobile marketing permission and acceptance. The chapter concludes with predictions on the future of mobile marketing and some core areas of further research.
