ABSTRACT In 2007, the Journal of Simulation ran the first ever journal issue dedicated to
conceptual modelling for discrete-event simulation. The editorial for that issue reported on a …

Collaboration in the digitalization era is of utmost importance, as it enables sustainable
development in the Industry 4.0 (I4. 0) context. In this paper, a general view over different …

Smart manufacturing systems (SMSs) are envisioned to contain highly automated and IT-
driven production systems. To address the complexity that arises in such systems, a …

Rapid changes in the open manufacturing environment are imminent due to the increase of
customer demand, global competition, and digital fusion. This has exponentially increased …

The study aims to present framework and technology solutions for collaborative product
innovation based on the status review. Companies are facing challenges including …

Abstract Models of distributed manufacturing systems cannot be consistent without a formal
ontology. In this paper, the ontology formulation and maintenance are addressed in the …

Smart Manufacturing Systems need to be agile to adapt to new situations by using detailed,
precise, and appropriate data for intelligent decision-making. The intricacy of the …

This article presents a novel monitoring method of abrasive water jet (AWJ) cutting process
using the infrared thermography. Using this monitoring method it is possible to observe the …

With the development of cloud computing, increasing attention has shifted from traditional
manufacturing toward cloud manufacturing. The distinguishing feature of cloud …

This paper analyses the performance of supply chains by using agent-based simulation. The
proposed agents are based on the Supply Chain Operations Reference (SCOR) model …
