Detailed Presentation

Global competition in the manufacturing industry forces to build a cross-organizational business process cooperative environment, in which manufacturers can share and utilize distributed resources and competencies for rapidly and cost-effectively developing products. But the varying manufacturing resources are heterogeneity which limits the business process execution in an automated way. This paper presents an approach for cross-organizational business processes integration in the cloud manufacturing paradigm. The main idea is to encapsulate an organization’s resources and competencies within appropriate interfaces and advertise it as semantic web services, called manufacturing service. An executable business process is achieved by manufacturing services composition. We give a detailed presentation of the cloud manufacturing service model. Semantically description of service not only contains resources’ capability, but also is considered as mediators to bridge the gap between the modeled processes and their implementation. The main integration process is introduced based our approach.
