Hakju Oh, Boonserm Kulvatunyou, Albert T. Jones, Tim Finin
Today, businesses rely on numerous information systems to achieve their production goals and improve their global competitiveness. Semantically integrating those systems is essential for businesses to achieve both. To do so, businesses must rely on

Layered Security Guidance for Data Asset Management in Additive Manufacturing

November 23, 2023
Author(s)
Fahad Milaat, Joshua Lubell
Manufacturing industries are increasingly adopting additive manufacturing (AM) technologies to produce functional parts in critical systems. However, the inherent complexity of both AM designs and AM processes render them attractive targets for cyber

Demystifying Accreditation A Framework for Accreditation of Forensic Units

October 1, 2023
Author(s)
Nicole Jones, Erin Forry, Donna J. Sirk
Accreditation is a formal recognition by an independent third party/accreditation body that a forensic service provider such as a laboratory, unit, or agency,a meets standards. A standard is a requirement or guideline used to ensure that a process or

RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN ONTOLOGY STANDARDS AND THEIR APPLICABILITY TO BIOMANUFACTURING
