“…• efficiently and cost-effectively converting manufacturing resources and capabilities into services and placing them in cloud-based platforms (Zhong et al, 2017); • the development of effective algorithms of managing resource service transactions (Tao et al, 2012); • the development of optimisation algorithms and strategies to support comprehensive QoS management to achieve high quality and efficiency (He & Wu, 2015); • QoS-based service composition selection in a cloud manufacturing system (Zhong et al, 2017); • the introduction of semantic models for manufacturing resources and capability servitisation and data sharing (Xie et al, 2017); • the development of the algorithms for data quality management (Song et al, 2017); • the elaboration of optimisation algorithms for optimal service composition in the cloud environment with the consideration of service correlations (Zhou & Yao, 2017); • manufacturing services configuration (Zhong et al, 2017); • robust service compositions that are autonomously reconfigured with minimal human intervention (Wu et al, 2013); • service encapsulation and virtualisation access models for manufacturing machines, combining the Internet of Things techniques and cloud computing (Zhang et al, 2017); • protocol, safety and security, reliability, and management techniques of application in CMfg systems (Yuan et al, 2017); • the development of the trust evaluation models increases the credibility of service transaction trust evaluation in CMfg systems (Yan et al, 2015). Beside cloud-based manufacturing, the authors also identified the most recent manufacturing concepts that appeared in literature: smart manufacturing, sustainable manufacturing, green manufacturing, social manufacturing, nanomanufacturing, additive +3d printing manufacturing, advanced manufacturing, remanufacturing and cyber-physical systems.…”
