SNGOM-CMfg: A Social-level Norm-Governed Open Marketized Cloud Manufacturing Model

In order to overcome the challenge confronted with by the current Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg for short) mode due to adopting the closed and non-normalized manner for managing aggregated manufacturing services, this paper proposes to create the Social-level Norm-Governed Open Marketized CMfg model, called SNGOM-CMfg, which aims at replacing the CMfg service platforms with the public-welfare manufacturing cloud market for supporting Collaborative Manufacturing (CoM for short), and therefore making the formation and running of CoM transformed completely into being dominated by service consumers and managed and controlled jointly by consumers and providers. By integrating the technologies of norm-based macro-governance, market CoM assistance and supervision, and rational agents conforming to norms, this model can remove the uncontrollability obstacle confronted with by cross-management-domain CoM activities, and support the controllable implementation of CoM effectively.
