Research on key technologies for design services collaboration in cloud manufacturing

In this paper, the key technologies to the design service collaboration in the cloud manufacturing are explored combining with the cloud manufacturing concept and mode. The design service collaboration mode in the cloud manufacturing environment is proposed. A 5-level 8-view conceptual model and a semantic-based modeling method of the cloud design service are proposed through the analysis of the needs and features of the cloud design service modeling. A service combining method, dynamic generation of the work flow model, is introduced to improve the dynamics and flexibility of the services combining. This can satisfy the needs of the cloud manufacturing mode. Finally, a prototype system is developed to demonstrate the proposed method.
