International Journal of Rapid Manufacturing

 

Special Issue on: "Cyber Manufacturing – Emerging Frontiers in Sensing, Modelling and Control"

Guest Editors:
Assistant Prof. Prahalad Rao, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA
Assistant Prof. Chi Zhou and Assistant Prof. Olga Wodo, University at Buffalo, USA

The aim of this special issue is to present recent research advancements in cyber manufacturing. The 2016 Whitehouse report on advanced manufacturing emphasises the burgeoning need for fundamental research in next-generation technologies to spur manufacturing innovation. An information transparent cyber manufacturing paradigm is a key component of this thrust. Novel sensing, analytics, physical process modelling, part measurement and materials testing strategies, among other things, are consequential milestones that must be achieved to fully capitalise the revolutionary potential of cyber manufacturing.
