Abstract
In cloud manufacturing paradigm for regional industrial cluster, there is increasing necessity of collaboration among enterprises or facilities. It is valuable to explore the characteristics of these collaboration behaviors, so as to effectively schedule dispersed manufacturing facilities and organize their collaboration. The collaborative relation of manufacturing in regional industrial cluster can be described as a generalized social collaboration network. In this paper, we introduce the relevant entities and relations of facilities collaboration, propose the method for building Facility Collaboration Network (FCN), and design the dynamic growing process of FCN for different facility selection strategies, including random selection, balanced selection, random selection with preference and balanced selection with preference. Based on the indexes such as network scale, degree distribution, act degree distribution, average shortest distance and number of cliques, we exhibit the statistical characteristics of FCN, and analyze the features and laws for efficient facilities selection in cloud manufacturing.
