Abstract
With unbounding the manufacturing resources and capabilities from shopfloors and being available as on-demand services for everyone who needs, the service allocation problem becomes critical. Despite of private Cloud Manufacturing platforms in which the service allocation problem is an optimization matching problem, in public Cloud Manufacturing platforms the service allocation problem is a matching game between manufacturing providers and consumers. This is a complex form of games that has two sides, one side is the players that has manufacturing resources and capabilities and the other side is the players who want to receives such services. In this paper, we present a matching game model...

Abstract
Online manufacturing platforms are spreading in the manufacturing industry in the shade of Cloud Manufacturing systems. The paper manipulates a matching mechanism for public Cloud Manufacturing platforms based on the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Theory, VIKOR method, and Deferred Acceptance algorithm. The VIKOR method provides a rational, scientific, and systematic approach to enable providers and consumers to evaluate the attributes of each other and develop their preference lists. The method is augmented by the Intuitionistic Fuzzy Sets Theory to grasp the high level of vagueness and uncertainty in the process of preference list development. The utilization of Deferred Acceptance algorithm...

Abstract
Public platforms are one of the most important Cloud Manufacturing modes. Public platforms enable an environment for manufacturers and demanders to freely and directly connect with each other. Exploiting the high potentials of public platforms depends on final matching. This paper has developed a multi-phase matching mechanism for stable and optimal resource allocation in public platform. The proposed mechanism grades the demanders using an intuitionistic fuzzy VIKOR method using three measures of quality, time, and sustainability. Then, the mechanism clusters the demanders based on these three measures; and finally, allocates the clusters using the Deferred Acceptance (DA) algorithm to the...

Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) is a service-oriented manufacturing (SOM) paradigm that provides a dynamic, scalable, and virtualized working ecosystem. The CMfg collaborative structure can be modeled as a hyper-network-based service-demand matching architecture. It is enriched with quality of service (QoS) characteristics to produce customized products in a stable and reliable network. This stability should be considered in the overall manufacturing network mechanism. This paper has provided adaptive strategies utilizing available resources and capacities to enhance the system’s stability and reliability against the unexpected events. The capabilities of the enhanced framework are utilized to...

A Novel Heuristic Mathematical Model for Cloud Manufacturing Service Composition Problem Focusing on Benders Algorithm
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fatahi Valilai, Omid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Today, Information Technology is a critical aspect for the development of the modern manufacturing industry. Network technology can connect customers, partners, and the general public to work together and provide resources across the supply chain to improve product performance. To meet the goal of higher performance with lower operational costs and shorter delivery times for new products, many network-driven or service-oriented models have been proposed. These models focus more on communicating with dispersed partners rather than Integrated management and generalization of dynamic resource partnerships. But, cloud manufacturing has been recognized in the literature for generating computing...

Optimization of Service Composition Problem in Cloud Manufacturing
, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Eshghi, Koroush (Supervisor)
Abstract
Service composition is an important problem in the cloud manufacturing paradigm in which, after receiving a customer request, combination of cloud services are determined for accomplishment of customer needs. Actually, customer need is decomposed to some distinct tasks such that each one is done by a company or a group of them. In this way, virtual and cloud-based production line can be developed based on requirements of customers. The ultimate goal of service composition is optimum assignment of tasks to factories while some objective functions (e.g. minimization of cost and time) and constraints (e.g. minimum reliability and availability) are considered. In this study, integer programming...

, M.Sc. Thesis Sharif University of Technology ; Fatahi Valilai, Omid (Supervisor)
Abstract
Nowadays. global competition in manufacturing industries is increasing dramatically. In fact, the traditional production systems are not able to satisfy the needs of customers whom their production complexity is increasing. In order to fulfill the mentioned challenge, a new manufacturing system entitled “cloud Manufacturing” is introduced. In this new paradigm, manufacturing resources and capabilities of production are virtualized through internet and in the whole life cycle of manufacturing and production. These resources are available for end-users via the internet based on an XaaS (everything as aservice) approach. Moreover, although there are some limitations when manufacturing services...
