Globalization is one of the widely considered factors in today’s manufacturing industries. This paradigm may be adopted for new technologies such as additive manufacturing. Additive manufacturing has been identified as an innovative manufacturing technology in recent years. The characteristics of this manufacturing technology, especially its support for quick design to manufacturing, have dominated it as an efficient generation of manufacturing techniques for today’s global manufacturing paradigm. This article discusses the requirements and necessities of additive manufacturing with respect to a globalized perspective. Considering the two major requirements studied as integration of manufacturing operations and enabling collaboration in distributed manufacturing networks, this article proposes an idea as an enabler of additive manufacturing in the global paradigm. This idea proposes the application of Cloud manufacturing paradigm as one of the recent researches for global manufacturing environments. The capabilities of the Cloud manufacturing to fulfill the requirements and necessities of additive manufacturing in global paradigm are discussed and elaborated through a comprehensive case study. The case study uses the recent researches of the authors for an integrated and collaborative distributed Cloud manufacturing platform named XMLAYMOD platform. This article discusses the different aspects of the Cloud manufacturing–based solution for additive manufacturing systems.

“…Artificial disasters are characterized by the presence of man: some typical examples are pollution, means of transport, accidents in energy plants (e.g., nuclear, coal, gas). Finally, the homeland security class is a particular class of emergencies where the security of a nation can be endangered (Wu, Zhu, & Rao, 2009): some typical examples are terrorist raids, wars, as well as border surveillance in particular zones, or the security of some specific areas of national interest (e.g., industrial or tourist sites) and critical infrastructures.…”

“…The models are often very complex to solve, requiring high computational complexity by resorting to the solution of finite difference equations (Thompson, Refstrup Sørensonb, Gavina, & Refsgaard, 2004). In Wu, Zhu, and Rao (2009) a homeland security model has been presented, focusing on the importance of a mutual optimization of communication and computing. The interested reader could refer to (Shaluf, Ahmadun, and Mustapha (2003), where several disaster model are described; we can note that all these model are based on complex mathematical equations or even on the presence of distributed computing systems.…”

Emergency management is one of the most important areas where technology innovation has direct impact on social well-being and sustainability. In the past few years, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) has proved to be instrumental to improve emergency management with particular focus on resilience, rapidity of response, adaptability to situations. To these ends, joint optimization of communication and computing is a promising cross-layer approach. Indeed, this paper is focused on the consideration of both cognitive and autonomic networking approaches when deploying an emergency management system. The cognitive approach was initially considered specifically for wireless communications, while the autonomic approach was initially introduced for managing complex computing systems; however, they share several similarities in dealing with fully reconfigurable systems. The future trend is to expand their influence toward the global optimization of the ICT infrastructure, as the authors show in this paper for the specific case of emergency management systems.

The continuous decentralisation and distribution of software, hardware, and human resources depends on a number of fundamental factors including the ability to provide desired Quality of Service (QoS) on resources assembled dynamically from enterprises, service providers and customer systems. Despite recent developments there are still many challenges in efficient information delivery and management services for distributed architectures. In this work we are particularly interested with the use of intelligent decision making mechanisms for the management of distributed architectures. Our research aims at designing and developing an intelligent decision making mechanism for the management, distribution, control and optimisation of systems resources within large distributed systems which allows dynamic system architecture configuration and provisioning.
