This is a NIST/ATP project which aims to develop integration tools and object and agent technologies for supporting the integration of heterogeneous manufacturing application systems.

bullet7.gif (1016 bytes)Solutions for MES-Adaptable Replicable Technology (SMART)

This is a NIST/ATP project, which aims to develop solutions to enable integration and interoperability amongst Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) as well as the full range of Enterprise Information Systems (EIS) within a single enterprise or amongst multiple enterprises.

bullet6.gif (1013 bytes)Extended Enterprise Coalition for Integrated Collaborative Manufacturing Systems (EECOMS)

This is a NIST/ATP project which deals with the development of rule management, virtual situation room, and security technologies to enable the integration of manufacturing applications in a multi-company supply chain planning and execution environment.

This project is supported by the National Science Foundation. It aims to develop a number of cooperative servers such as automated negotiation server, business event and rule server, business process management server, constraint satisfaction processing server and cost-benefit analysis and evaluation server, etc. to support collaborative E-business.

This project aims to develop advanced information technologies for achieving transnational information sharing. The part of the project that Su and his students have been working on is research and development of a distributed query processing system and its integration with an Event-Trigger-Rule Sever to achieve information sharing, event notification, rule processing and process coordination. These two system components have also been integrated with a machine translation system developed at CMU and a conversational interface developed at the University of Colorado. The integrated systems have been demonstrated at the National Conference on Digital Government Research, 2004 and at project meetings in Belize and the Dominican Republic, and a meeting at the Organization of American States.

This project is supported by USDA. It aims to research and develop a regional network system at the University of Florida, which connects systems in 12 states and Puerto Rico, for the detection and diagnosis of plant health problems. The key functions of the regional center are to extend and support sound public policies, implement environmentally sound prevention and management strategies, and provide leadership and training.

This project is supported by the National Science Foundation. It aims to develop an infrastructure and technologies for the processing and management of 1) distributed events, 2) dynamic data associated with event occurrences, and 3) knowledge expressed by different types of rules and rule structures (multi-faceted knowledge) and application system operations invoked by rules. The R&D results will be applied in the USDA's National Plant Diagnostics Network (NPDN) to enable many collaborating organizations to receive data associated with each occurrence of an event type as well as data generated by different types of rules and rule structures and application operations to support their local decision-making and problem solving and coordinate their activities.
