The current trends in personalized products drive the paradigms of production systems toward autonomous networked manufacturing systems. This article proposes an ontology-based holonic event-driven architecture for implementing loosely coupled, holonic, autonomous distributed systems. The event-driven architecture (EDA) enables the services provided by different organizations and their suborganizations to be autonomously configured and integrated, while ensuring that the predefined organizational event access rules are compulsorily followed. This is realized by organizing the event services in a holonic manager and modeling the knowledge of services via the ontology developed in this study. The ontology model and the corresponding autonomous configuration mechanism are introduced. We developed a demonstration case to elaborate our approach and implemented a testbed using Java-based technology for testing the effectiveness, efficiency, scalability, and reliability of the proposed approach. Note to Practitioners —The ever-changing customer demands, the volatile market, and the trend of mass personalization require manufacturing systems to be smart in the event of uncertainties. To this end, information sharing in the supply chain is a key factor. However, there are several barriers in implementing a cross-organizational information system, including security, access privileges, and system interoperability. To lift these barriers, this article proposes an ontology model and a hierarchical EDA. Compared with conventional architectures, our approach facilitates the management of access privileges, integration of interorganizational information systems, and their interoperation. Moreover, our approach is competitive compared with the conventional service-oriented architecture in terms of both scalability and reliability of the system. Before the proposed approach can be practically applied, the ontology model needs to be further extended, and the event registration and message exchange protocol need to be standardized.

自主网络制造系统的基于本体的Holonic事件驱动架构

个性化产品的当前趋势将生产系统的范例推向自主的网络化制造系统。本文提出了一种基于本体的整体事件驱动架构，用于实现松耦合的整体自主自治分布式系统。事件驱动架构（EDA）使不同组织及其子组织提供的服务可以自主配置和集成，同时确保强制性遵循预定义的组织事件访问规则。这是通过在整体管理器中组织事件服务并通过本研究开发的本体对服务的知识进行建模来实现的。介绍了本体模型和相应的自治配置机制。执业者注意 —不断变化的客户需求，动荡的市场以及大规模个性化的趋势要求制造系统在出现不确定性的情况下必须精明。为此，供应链中的信息共享是关键因素。但是，实施跨组织信息系统存在多个障碍，包括安全性，访问权限和系统互操作性。为了消除这些障碍，本文提出了一个本体模型和一个分层的EDA。与传统体系结构相比，我们的方法有助于访问权限的管理，组织间信息系统的集成以及它们之间的互操作。此外，就系统的可扩展性和可靠性而言，我们的方法与传统的面向服务的体系结构相比具有竞争力。
