In recent years, cloud manufacturing (CMfg) has been developed as an intelligent manufacturing system, in which geographically distributed manufacturing resources are available as services in the cloud platform. Choosing and integrating single services into a combined service to fulfill the client's requests requires higher emphasis. However, by increasing customers' trend to utilize CMfg, service providers are encouraged to publish services with various functional and non-functional characteristics. Thus, service composition and optimal selection has become one of the most challenging topics in CMfg. Hence, an inclusive review of current studies on this NP-hard issue is extremely desirable. This article first, selects the recent studies in the field of single-objective service composition in CMfg and classifies and surveys them comprehensively in terms of QoS parameters, energy consumption, user constraint, and so forth. This article aims to provide a useful roadmap for future researchers who are intended to explore novel work in this field. The search for articles was conducted in November 2020.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
