Review of Cloud Service Composition for Intelligent Manufacturing
It addresses the problem of dispersed and nonstandard optimization indicators for researchers in intelligent manufacturing, but is incremental as it primarily reviews and organizes existing work.
This paper reviews cloud service optimization for intelligent manufacturing, summarizing existing research, defining 11 optimization indicators, and categorizing algorithms into heuristic and reinforcement learning approaches.
Intelligent manufacturing is a new model that uses advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, and artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency and quality of manufacturing production. As an important support to promote the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry, cloud service optimization has received the attention of researchers. In recent years, remarkable research results have been achieved in this field. For the sustainability of intelligent manufacturing platforms, in this paper we summarize the process of cloud service optimization for intelligent manufacturing. Further, to address the problems of dispersed optimization indicators and nonuniform/unstandardized definitions in the existing research, 11 optimization indicators that take into account three-party participant subjects are defined from the urgent requirements of the sustainable development of intelligent manufacturing platforms. Next, service optimization algorithms are classified into two categories, heuristic and reinforcement learning. After comparing the two categories, the current key techniques of service optimization are targeted. Finally, research hotspots and future research trends of service optimization are summarized.
