The Paradigm Shift in Smart Manufacturing System Ar-chitecture

September 4, 2016
Author(s)
Yan Lu, Frank H. Riddick, Nenad Ivezic
In response to demanding market conditions, Smart Manufacturing (SM) seeks to integrate advanced manufacturing methods, operational technologies (OT), and information and communication technologies (ICT) to drive the creation of manufacturing systems with

DRILLING DOWN ON SMART MANUFACTURING -- ENABLING COMPOSABLE APPS

August 16, 2016
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, KC Morris, Simon P. Frechette
One of the most exciting new capabilities in Smart Manufacturing (SM) is the provisioning of manufacturing services as unbundled "apps," which could be significantly more flexible and less expensive to use than the current generation of monolithic

TOWARDS BUSINESS PROCESS CATALOG FOR CLOUD-ENABLED SERVICE-ORIENTED ARCHITECTURES

May 31, 2016
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Miroslav Ljubicic, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Conrad Leiva, Scott Nieman, Zoran Marjanovic
Advances in cloud-enabled service-oriented architectures have caused a resurgence of industry interest in business process catalog as a vehicle for establishing shared references for collaborative business processes. With this paper, we start to explore

This report summarizes the results from the OAGi/NIST Workshop on Open Cloud Architecture for Smart Manufacturing, which was held at the National Institute of Standards and Technology on May 5, 2015. The workshop was a forum for manufacturers and providers

A Framework to Canonicalize Manufacturing Service Capability Models

May 15, 2015
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Yunsu Lee, Nenad Ivezic, Yun Peng
The ability to share precise models of suppliers’ manufacturing service capability (MSC) information is necessary to develop reliable methods that enable Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to efficiently configure agile and responsive supply chains

Toward Manufacturing System Composability Analysis: A Use Case Scenario

September 20, 2014
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Evan K. Wallace, Nenad Ivezic, Yunsu Lee
One of the characteristics of a smart manufacturing system is the ability to quickly adapt to new and changing requirements. This implies that software and hardware components of the manufacturing system need to be easily composed and recomposed. In

Ontological Conceptualization Based on Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS)

May 19, 2014
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic, Ameri Farhad, Kaikhah Khosrow, Boonserm Kulvatunyou
In this paper, a thesaurus-based methodology is proposed for systematic ontological conceptualization in the manufacturing domain. The methodology has three main phases, namely, thesaurus development, thesaurus evaluation, and thesaurus conversion. A

Use Case Analysis for Standard Manufacturing Service Capability Model

September 12, 2013
Author(s)
Yunsu Lee, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Marko Vujasinovic, Nenad Ivezic
To efficiently assemble manufacturing supply chains, manufacturers need to provide precise and easily accessible their manufacturing service capability (MSC) information described in the form of MSC descriptions. However, a number of challenges exist in

An Optimization Approach for Semantic-based XML Schema Matching

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Jaewook Kim, Yun Peng, Nenad Ivezic, Jun H. Shin
We propose a novel solution for semantic-based XML schema matching, taking a mathematical programming approach. This method identifies the globally optimal solution for the problem of matching leaf nodes between two XML schema trees by reducing the tree-to

On Enhancing Communication of Manufacturing Service Capability Information

May 16, 2013
Author(s)
Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Nenad Ivezic, Yunsu Lee
A manufacturing service model contains both schema and schema-compliant descriptions of suppliers’ service information, such as locations, areas of specialization, capacities, certifications, software capabilities, and material processing capabilities

Concept Analysis to Enrich Manufacturing Service Capability Models

March 22, 2013
Author(s)
Jun H. Shin, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Yunsu Lee, Nenad Ivezic
When an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM), which makes a final product for the consumer marketplace by purchasing components from its suppliers, faces unexpected supply network failures and market events, models of suppliers’ manufacturing service

Architectural Recommendations for Global Interoperability Test Bed

October 28, 2011
Author(s)
Nenad Ivezic
This paper offers a collection of recommendations to architect a comprehensive and coherent architectural solution for a global interoperability testing framework for eBusiness systems. Requirements from an initial set of three industrial use cases drove

Agile Test Framework for Business-to-Business Interoperability

April 12, 2011
Author(s)
Jungyub Woo, Nenad Ivezic, H Cho
Business-to-business (B2B) applications are tested routinely for conformance and interoperability against a set of data exchange standards before deployment. However, the existence of many data exchange standards, planned utilizations, deployment

Semantic-based Optimal XML Schema Matching: A Mathematical Programming Approach

February 9, 2011
Author(s)
Jaewook Kim, Yun Peng, Nenad Ivezic, Jun H. Shin
We propose a novel solution for semantic-based XML schema matching, taking a mathematical programming approach. This method identifies the globally optimal solution for the problem of matching two XML schemas by reducing the tree-to-tree matching problem

Semantic B2B-integration Using an Ontological Message Metamodel

September 1, 2010
Author(s)
Marko Vujasinovic, Nenad Ivezic, Edward J. Barkmeyer Jr., Zoran Marjanovic
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
