Many important advances in science and engineering are due to large-scale distributed computing. Notwithstanding this reliance, we are still learning how to design and deploy large-scale production Distributed Computing Infrastructures (DCI). This is evidenced by missing design principles for DCI, and an absence of generally acceptable and usable distributed computing abstractions. These gaps u...

Abstract A model is presented for shifting the manual intensive manufacturing process of complex biomedical devices towards more lean and efficient production via application concepts cyber physical systems in combination with big data analytics a closed loop manner. The concept capable handling high product volumes variety, has ability self-adaptation correction various operating conditions, o...
