Abstract
Monitoring and evaluating the health of the cloud manufacturing service ecosystem (CMSE) is critical to ensuring the long-term development of the cloud manufacturing service platform. The behavior patterns of three types of market entities, service demander (SD), service provider (SP) and platform operator (PO), have an important impact on the evolution trend of CMSE. The formulation of platform transaction rules and development of operation and regulation strategies need clarified the evolution law of the CMSE. Therefore, the evolution framework of the CMSE is constructed, the behavior modes of market entities such as SP, SD, and PO are established respectively, and multi-agent behavior simulation experiments are carried out. Simulation analysis showed that the more sensitive the SP was to the transaction activity in the system, the earlier the ecosystem in which it was located enters the stable period. When the sensitivity k of SD to the number of SPs that are available for required services in the system was between 0.45 and 0.5, the evolution trend of CMSE would show an obvious turning point from rapid growth to shrinkage. PO could adopt flexible charging strategies at different stages of the evolution of the CMSE to maximize revenue.
