Modern mass customization production allows user interaction activities to be distributed in the full product life cycle via multiple information systems. Investigating user behaviors across the boundaries of different domains helps to deeply integrate isolated fragmental profiles into a comprehensive one, and therefore can provide multi-dimensional, high-quality and valuable services. However, traditional user behavior analysis models are based on individual user profile information derived from separate domains, such as requirement analysis, design, supply chain, logistics, marketing, etc., which have not considered the whole complexity of mass customization manufacturing. In this paper, we introduce the concept of multidimensional semantic activity space, where user behavior features are merged and represented as combined vectors. User behavior patterns are discovered by mining action data extracted from log files in different subsystems in the corresponding domains. We also identify distinct categories of user behaviors in various modules and subsystems in the context of an intelligent manufacturing environment. Experiment results show a strong indication that the proposed approach can be applied to reveal variations in typical behavioral aspects of cross-domain participants, in terms of patterns in resource access, operation tasks, performance assessment, etc.

To solve the problem of integrating and fusing scattered and heterogeneous data in the process of data space construction, we propose a novel entity association relationship modeling approach driven by dynamic detecting probes. By deploying acquisition units between the business logic layer and data access layer of different applications and dynamically collecting key information such as global data structure, related data, and access logs, the entity association model for enterprise data space is constructed from three levels: schema, instance, and log. At the schema association level, a multidimensional similarity discrimination algorithm combined with semantic analysis is used to achieve the rapid fusion of similar entities; at the instance association level, a combination of feature vector-based similarity analysis and deep learning is used to complete the association matching of different entities for structured data such as numeric and character data and unstructured data such as long text data; at the log association level, the association between different entities and attributes is established by analyzing the equivalence relationships in the data access logs. In addition, to address the uncertainty problem in the association construction process, a fuzzy logic-based inference model is applied to obtain the final entity association construction scheme.
