This EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) project will evaluate the limitations of the current Internet structure and protocols, and begin to characterize what changes or enhancements are needed so that future manufacturing systems can be set up as quickly and easily as today's e-commerce systems.A cyberinfrastructure for manufacturing systems does not yet exist, and it is not clear how the current Internet Web-based service structure could be applied to manufacturing systems. The project will evaluate several different frameworks, standards, and architectures that have been developed both for Internet/e-commerce systems and for manufacturing systems. Commonalities between the two as well as significant gaps will be exposed. The project will lead to new understanding of the fundamental limitations of the current Internet web-based service structure when applied to manufacturing systems. Gaps in the current state-of-the-practice will be identified, and future directions for research and development will be outlined that would enable better interoperatiblity, openness, and scalability of manufacturing systems.Cyberinfrastructure has the potential to create a paradigm shift in the design and operation of manufacturing systems. A manufacturing cyberinfrastructure with the right functionality can enable the creation of virtual manufacturing communities, distributed across diverse physical locations, connected digitally by the Internet and physically by logistics. This cyberinfrastructure can facilitate emergent efforts to produce a new product on a small or large scale. The results of this research have the potential to enable small-scale businesses to break into new markets.

这个早期概念探索性研究资助 (EAGER) 项目将评估当前互联网结构和协议的局限性，并开始描述需要进行哪些更改或增强，以便未来的制造系统可以像今天的电子系统一样快速、轻松地建立起来。 -商业系统。制造系统的网络基础设施还不存在，目前还不清楚当前基于互联网的服务结构如何应用于制造系统。该项目将评估为互联网/电子商务系统和制造系统开发的几种不同的框架、标准和架构。 两者之间的共同点以及重大差距将被暴露出来。 该项目将导致人们对当前基于互联网的服务结构应用于制造系统时的基本局限性有新的认识。将确定当前实践状态的差距，并概述未来的研究和开发方向，以实现制造系统更好的互操作性、开放性和可扩展性。网络基础设施有潜力在制造领域创造范式转变。制造系统的设计和操作。具有适当功能的制造网络基础设施可以创建虚拟制造社区，这些社区分布在不同的物理位置，通过互联网进行数字连接，并通过物流进行物理连接。 这种网络基础设施可以促进小规模或大规模生产新产品的紧急努力。这项研究的结果有可能帮助小型企业打入新市场。
