Abstract: A personalized product configuration technology framework for cloud manufacturing is proposed in this article,analyzing the typical process of product configuration under cloud manufacturing, and  summarizing the characteristics of participants and manufacturing resource organizations in the cloud manufacturing environment, including the need to balance the interests of different participants in the product configuration process and cover the different attributes of different manufacturing service instances during product configuration solution. In addition, we also expound on solutions to the three key issues, including cloud service model for product configuration, preliminary product configuration based on association rule mining, and product integrity configuration based on ant colony algorithm, providing a new idea for personalized product configuration in the cloud manufacturing environment. The product configuration of the wheel loader is used as an example in the process of model design and case solving, which demonstrates the effectiveness and feasibility of this method.

Key words: product configuration, cloud manufacturing, cloud manufacturing service modeling, association rule mining, ant colony algorithm
