Manufacturing and management paradigms, methods and tools for sustainable Industry 4.0-Oriented Manufacturing Systems. [Excerpt] In the current Industry 4.0 era (I4.0, for short) [1–3], manufacturing and management (M&M) paradigms, methods and tools should be wisely developed to fulfil sustainability issues, regarding not just economic but also social and environmental concerns by simultaneously fostering organizational efficiency excellence and transformational initiatives, therefore contributing to enduring busi. 2022.

The resources systems selection is still a difficult matter to solve in the Distributed/Agile/Virtual Enterprises (D/A/V Es) integration. Globally, we can say that the resources selection problem has been equated from different aspects, originating different kinds of models/algorithms to solve it. In order to assist the development of a web prototype tool (broker tool), intelligent and flexible, t. 2013.
