Proposing a Strategic Framework for Distributed Manufacturing Execution System Using Cloud Computing

This paper introduces a strategic framework that uses service-oriented architecture to design distributed MES1 over cloud. In this study, the main structure of framework is defined in terms of a series of modules that communicate with each other by use of a design pattern, called mediator. Framework focus is on the main module, which handles distributed orders with other ones and finally suggests the benefit of using cloud in comparison with previous architectures. The main structure of framework (mediator) and the benefit of focusing on the main module by using cloud, should be pointed more, also the aim and the results of comparing this method with previous architecture whether by quality and quantity is not described.
