First Call For Papers

 

PLM is emerging as a major concern for most organizations and a major opportunity for those involved in integrating diverse tools used in each task domain or stage of product development and beyond. It can be argued that technology exists today for the creation of a seamless environment for accessing, manipulating and reasoning about product information that is being produced in fragmented and distributed environment. The 4th edition of this international symposium will bring together researchers, developers, and users of PLM.

 

PLM’07 calls for your paper! All papers will be peer-reviewed and selected for presentation during  the conference  with publication in the conference proceedings (hardcopies printed by an formal editor and CD-ROM). Papers submitted to the conference will be considered for publication in the International Journal of Product Lifecycle Management (IJPLM).
