Introduction In recent years, the manufacturing industry has undergone significant transformation with the advent of Industry 4.0 and initiatives like "Made in China 2025" [1]. These advancements have shifted the focus from mere product manufacturing to delivering high-value-added products and services [2]. As a core sector within manufacturing, mechanical engineering relies heavily on information technologies such as 3D CAD/CAM to shorten product design cycles and enhance market responsiveness. Cloud manufacturing, which leverages cloud computing to virtualize manufacturing resources and capabilities, has emerged as a promising paradigm [3]. It combines technologies like IoT, big data, and AI to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and increase flexibility [4].

For instance, researchers have proposed various methods such as data exchange interface-based integration, collaborative design-oriented integration, PDM-based integration, and manufacturing feature-based integration [8, 9]. However, despite these efforts, several limitations persist. First, the integration of soft manufacturing resources often fails to fully utilize the functionalities of various software modules. Second, there is inadequate research on the integration and evaluation of 3D CAD/CAM technologies specifically within the cloud manufacturing context [10]. To address these gaps, this study proposes a novel approach. A CAD/CAM integration analysis model is developed by combining the Mirage Optimization Algorithm (FATA) with the Residual Neural Network (ResNet). The Mirage Optimization Algorithm (FATA) is employed to optimize the hyperparameters of the ResNet architecture. In this study, no modifications are made to the core structure of the standard ResNet. Specifically, ResNet50 is utilized in its original form, including its standard layers and connections. The FATA algorithm was only used to optimize ResNet's hyperparameters, with no changes to ResNet's internal architecture. The FATA algorithm uses specific parameters and symbols to represent different aspects of the optimization process. This model not only enhances the accuracy and efficiency of integration analysis but also offers faster convergence and improved computational performance [11]. By designing and validating operation modules within a cloud platform, we demonstrate the practical applicability of our method [12]. This research aims to advance the application of CAD/CAM technologies in intelligent manufacturing and provide robust support for the digital and intelligent transformation of the manufacturing industry. This paper constructs a comprehensive system based on the IASB framework and enhanced with a PO-BP model. Section 2 focuses on the theoretical foundation and construction of the data asset accounting system, including recognition, measurement, recording, and reporting. Section 3 presents the integration of the Political Optimizer (PO) algorithm with the BP neural network to develop a data asset valuation model. Section 4 offers a comparative analysis using open-source datasets to validate the modelβs performance against traditional algorithms. Finally, Section 5 concludes with a summary of findings, acknowledges the limitations, and proposes directions for future research. This structured approach ensures a thorough exploration of both conceptual foundations and practical implementations, offering valuable insights into data asset accounting in the digital economy. 2. CAD/CAM Integration Technology in Cloud Manufacturing Framework 2.1. Status of Research In recent years, the concept of cloud manufacturing has attracted international academic attention, and many countries have researched cloud manufacturing [13]. Cloud manufacturing is a new manufacturing model based on cloud computing technology, which virtualizes and services manufacturing resources and manufacturing capabilities and provides them to users through the Internet [14], as presented in Figure 1. It combines cloud computing, the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, and other technologies, aiming to improve manufacturing efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance the flexibility and responsiveness of manufacturing systems.

Mirage Optimization Algorithm The Mirage Algorithm (Fata Morgana Algorithm, FATA) [9] is a novel population intelligence optimization algorithm proposed in 2024, which is inspired by the mirage formation process in natural phenomena as shown in Figure 9. The FATA algorithm proposes two core strategies by mimicking the propagation of light in an inhomogeneous medium --Mirage Light Filtering Principle (MLF) and Light Propagation Strategy (LPS) to optimize the search process and enhance the algorithm's global search capability and local exploitation. HighTech and Innovation Journal Vol. 6, No. 3, September, 2025 868 Figure 9. Principle of the FATA algorithm 3.1. Initialization As with the other algorithms, random initialization is used: π₯π = ππππ β (ππ β πΏπ) + πΏπ (1) where ππ denotes the upper bound of the optimization problem, πΏπ denotes the lower bound of the optimization problem and π and denotes the random number. 3.2. Mirage Filtering Strategy In the physical process of mirage formation, objects emit two types of light. Most light rays belong to the first type (other rays), which do not propagate and form mirages. The other type of light undergoes a physical change to form a mirage and is called mirage light (Figure 10). The specific mathematical model is calculated as follows: Figure 10. FATA algorithm mirage filtering strategy π₯π πππ₯π‘ = { πΏπ + (ππ β πΏπ) β ππππ ππππ > π π₯πππ π‘ + π₯π β ππππ1 ππππ β€ π&&ππππ < π π₯ππππ + [0.5 β (πΌ + 1)(ππ β πΏπ) β ππ₯π] β ππππ2 ππππ β€ π&&ππππ β₯ π (2) π = πβππ€πππ π‘ ππππ π‘βππ€πππ π‘ (3) π = πππ‘πβπππ‘π€πππ π‘ πππ‘πππ π‘βπππ‘π€πππ π‘ (4) where π₯π denotes a ray individual, π₯π πππ₯π‘ denotes a new ray individual, π denotes a ray population quality factor, π denotes an individual quality, π denotes a population quality, πworst denotes the worst population quality, ππππ π‘ denotes the best population quality, πππ‘π denotes the ith ray fitness value, fit π‘best denotes the optimal individual ray fitness value, HighTech and Innovation Journal Vol. 6, No. 3, September, 2025 869 πππ‘worst denotes the worst individual ray fitness value. The parameter ππππ1 represents the first stage refractive index, which is initially set to 0. The parameter ππππ2 represents the second stage refractive index, also initially set to 0. The symbol πΌ (alpha) is used to denote the refractive step, which is a key factor in the light propagation strategy. Other parameters include FEs, which stands for the number of function evaluations, and MaxFEs, representing the maximum number of function evaluations allowed for the optimization process. The algorithm also utilizes a population of individuals, where each individual represents a potential solution in the search space. The quality of these individuals is assessed using a fitness value, with the best and worst fitness values denoted as πππ‘πππ π‘ and πππ‘π€πππ π‘, respectively. The algorithm iteratively updates these parameters to enhance the search efficiency and convergence speed. 3.3. Principle of Light Propagation The light propagation principle in FATA is executed after the mirage light filtering principle, which acts as an individual search strategy for the algorithm and is responsible for local exploitation in the search space to find local minima, as shown in Figure 11. Figure 11. FATA algorithm light propagation strategy The specific formula for light refraction (first stage) is as follows: π₯πππ₯π‘ = π₯πππ π‘ + π₯π§ (5) π₯π§ = π₯ β ππππ1 (6) ππππ1 = π ππ(π1) πΆβ πππ (π2) = π‘ππ(π) (7) where, π₯best denotes the optimal individual, π₯π§ denotes the refractive step, π ara π1 denotes the first stage refractive index, π1 denotes the angle of incidence, π2 denotes the angle of refraction, and π denotes the angular change of the FATA algorithm, which is shown schematically in Figure 12.

HighTech and Innovation Journal Vol. 6, No. 3, September, 2025 870 Figure 13. Para1 trends The specific formula for light refraction (second stage) is as follows: π₯πππ₯π‘ = π₯πππ π‘ + π₯π (8) π₯π = π₯π β ππππ2 (9) ππππ2 = πππ (π3) πΆβ π ππ(π4) = 1 π‘ππ(π) (10) where, π₯π represents the second stage refraction step, Para2 represents the first stage refractive index, π₯π represents the light individual and the refraction process is shown in Figure 14. Figure 14. The second stage of the refraction process The variation curve of the parameter Para2 with the number of iterations is shown in Figure 15. Figure 15. Para2 trends The total reflection model is calculated as follows: π₯πππ₯π‘ = π₯π = 0.5 β (πΌ + 1)(ππ + πΏπ) β πΌπ₯ (11) HighTech and Innovation Journal Vol. 6, No. 3, September, 2025 871 πΌ = πΉ πΈ (12) π₯0 β π₯π = πΉβ (π₯βπ₯0) πΈ (13) π₯0 = ππβπΏπ 2 + πΏπ = ππ+πΏπ 2 (14) where π₯π is the total reflection model emitting individual and πΌ is the reflectivity, the total reflection strategy is shown in Figure l6.
