Sustainable manufacturing could be further be promoted by the effective use of Modeling and Simulation (M&S) applications. These applications can evaluate manufacturing operations in light of increasing legislation and awareness for environmental
This document is the report of the Future SC4 architecture PWI. It provides information about the draft Industrial Data Integrated Ontologies and Models (IDIOM) architecture specification created by the PWI. The work of the Preliminary Work Item (PWI)
This document specifies specifies the components of an industrial data standard; the roles played by these components; the software technologies used to represent the components; and the way in which components are shared or harmonized between different
Representatives from manufacturers, academic research laboratories, the federal government and other organizations met on November 3rd and 4th, 2009 in Gaithersburg, Maryland to discuss the drivers that are encouraging companies and industries to introduce

The ISO subcommittee tasked with developing standards for industrial data, TC 184/SC 4, has recently undertaken an effort to define a new, more flexible architecture based on widely-used information technologies and standards with the goal of reducing
This paper introduces the Multi-Relationship Evaluation Design (MRED) framework whose objective is to take uncertain input data and automatically output comprehensive evaluation blueprints complete with targeted evaluation elements. MRED is unique in that
Standard representations for key manufacturing entities could help reduce the costs associated with simulation model construction and data exchange between simulation and other software applications. This change would make the use of simulation technology

E-Business applications are often required to use different, incompatible, message sets to implement message interfaces for a business-to-business (B2B) communication. This makes communication with every new partner a new interoperability problem. In this
Standard representations for key manufacturing entities could help reduce the costs associated with simulation model construction and data exchange between simulation and other software applications. This change would make the use of simulation technology

The representation and management of product lifecycle information is critical to the success of any manufacturing organization. Different modeling languages are adopted to represent different product information, for example EXPRESS for geometry as seen
Modeling and simulation (M&S) techniques are increasingly being used to solve problems and aid decision making in many different fields. It is particularly useful for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) applications because of its feature of non

The scale of nano objects requires very precise position determination. The state-of-the-art manipulators involve accurate nanometer positioning. This paper presents the design of a capacitive displacement sensor for a nanopositioning application. The
The purpose of this document is to extend the recommended practices for the representation of GD&T in STEP AP 210 (ISO-10303:210) in the context of packaged electronic connectors. Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T) is critical to the design
This document provides use cases for the management and maintenance of multi-domain component models using ISO 10303-210:2010 (AP 210) as a computer-interpretable representation. The use cases are the result of conversations with stakeholders and potential

A working group within the ISO TC 213 committee is developing a draft document [11] for evaluating the performance of laser trackers. The ASME B89.4.19 Standard [1] and the draft VDI/VDE 2617 part 10 [2] describe some useful tests that are incorporated
The Performance Metrics for Intelligent Systems (PerMIS) workshop is dedicated to defining measures and methodologies of evaluating performance of intelligent systems. The main theme of the ninth iteration of the workshop, PerMIS'09, addressed the question
Local oxidation of metal, semiconductor, and polymer surfaces has provided a common basis from which to explore fundamental principles of nanolithography and prototype functional nanostructures for many years now. This article summarizes an investigation
Sustainable manufacturing (SM) broadly implies the development of innovative manufacturing sciences and technologies that span the life cycle of products and services to minimize negative environmental impacts, conserve energy and natural resources, are
