CALL FOR PAPERS: PLM10
-----------------------------------------

You are invited to submit a paper to the 7th International Conference on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM10) to be held in Bremen, Germany, from 12-14 July 2010. The conference is promoted by the International Federation for Information Processing (ifip) Working Group 5.1 on Global Product Development for the whole Life-Cycle (www.ifip-wg51.org).

PLM10 will bring together researchers, developers and users of PLM in an event that will combine keynote lectures, exhibition, paper presentations, poster and panel sessions with an active social programme in an historic city. We invite PLM researchers, developers and practitioners to join the conference in order to shape the future of this new field and advance the science and practice of enterprise systems development. Contributions are invited on all aspects of PLM, including product innovation, colla borative product development, capture, curation and reuse of design information, enterprise systems integration, supply chain management, item-level and closed-loop PLM, change management, recycling management, sustainable PLM devel opment and related topics.

Authors are invited to submit abstracts to register interest in the Conference (this is not mandatory but is preferred), then submit original papers of up to 10 pages in length for review. Each paper will be reviewed by three members of the international Programme Committee, and those that are accepted will be published in the Conference proceedings and may be considered for publication in the International Journal of Product Lifecycle Management (IJPLM, www.inderscience.com/ijplm). Submission instructions will be given on the PLM10 website. Industry or emerging research presentations are also welcome which do not require paper submission.
