“…The process elements determined by MPP include machining processes, operations, resources and relevant parameters. Many technologies from the domain of computer science have been used to automate the activities in MPP, including: (1) Feature-based technologies (Givehchi, Haghighi, & Wang, 2015); (2) Knowledge-based technologies (Denkena, Shpitalni, Kowalski, Molcho, & Zipori, 2007); (3) Artificial-intelligent-based technologies (Quintanilla, Cardin, L'Anton, & Castagna, 2016); (4) Standard-compliant technologies (Xu, Klemm, Proctor, & Suh, 2006); and (5) Internet-based technologies (Wang, 2013).…”
