Through the use of rapid prototyping it is possible to move directly from a computer design to a nal physical product without human intervention. Telemanufacturing is an extension to rapid prototyping that presents a data communications based interface to rapid prototyping. Resource negotiating agents are able to provide a completely autonomous negotiation process. By integrating resource negotiating agents into a telemanufacturing environment, an opportunity for a completely automated supply chain is presented. / Prof. E.M. Ehlers
