The objective of this EArly-concept Grant for Exploratory Research (EAGER) collaborative project is to conduct a critical review and to develop a set of set of requirements for protocols and architectures for extensible, adaptable, and scalable manufacturing. Revolutionary advances in Information Technology (IT) have fueled the ubiquitous use of the Internet which has rapidly changed the manner in which we work, live and play. Impact of Internet technologies can be seen in diverse areas of national priority such as health care, energy and public safety. These advances have also promoted e-commerce for cyber shopping, communication and other service markets. However, in the general domain of manufacturing, the adoption of these IT advances has not been widespread due to unique challenges. There is a great need to investigate issues related to web-architectures that can foster an organic, community-involved development of software tools. Based on these requirements, the plan is to either identify existing architectures or propose an innovative architecture for the manufacturing context outlined. This architecture needs to enable enterprise partners (in the broader manufacturing community) to use, modify and adapt existing software tools essential to their own activities but also interface with this web-based architecture so that various manufacturing and related service activities can be realized.Such a web architecture will seek to foster a larger community-involved development and response that promotes more widespread use of software tools by the enterprises involved in manufacturing and related activities. At a functional level, such an architecture needs to also facilitate related entities (i.e., humans, services, resources) to adapt, modify and collaborate to achieve simple-to-complex manufacturing activities. Findings will be published in a peer-reviewed conference as well as other journal publications in order to engage the pertinent manufacturing and computer science communities. Findings will also be posted on the project website.

这项早期概念授予探索性研究（急切）协作项目的目的是进行批判性审查，并为可扩展，适应性和可扩展制造的协议和体系结构制定一套要求。 信息技术的革命进步（IT）助长了互联网的普遍使用，这已经迅速改变了我们的工作，生活和娱乐方式。互联网技术的影响可以在国家优先的各个领域，例如医疗保健，能源和公共安全。这些进步还促进了网络购物，沟通和其他服务市场的电子商务。但是，在制造业的一般领域中，由于独特的挑战，这些进步的采用并没有广泛。非常需要调查与可以促进有机社区涉及软件工具开发的Web-Architectures有关的问题。 基于这些要求，该计划是确定现有的架构，或为概述的制造环境提出创新的体系结构。这种架构需要使企业合作伙伴（在更广泛的制造社区中）使用，修改和调整现有的软件工具对自己的活动必不可少的软件工具，同时与这种基于网络的架构进行交互，以便可以实现各种制造业和相关的服务活动。这样，网络架构将寻求促进更大的社区开发和更广泛地促进与企业相关工具的更大的社区开发和响应。在功能层面上，这样的体系结构还需要促进相关实体（即人，服务，资源），以适应，修改和协作以实现简单到复杂的制造活动。 调查结果将在经过同行评审的会议以及其他期刊出版物中发表，以吸引相关的制造业和计算机科学社区。调查结果也将发布在项目网站上。
