CALL FOR PAPER
The PLM International Conference connects various representatives of its community (PLM, BIM) who contribute to its state-of-the-art research questions investigation. Among them are issues of design methodologies across the whole product lifecycle of products and buildings, their supporting digital tools, and integration challenges in the context of cyber-physical systems. The organizer of this year’s conference is University of Applied Science Rapperswil (HSR).
PLM2020 will include keynote lectures, scientific paper presentations, and industry-related sessions, with an extensive social program.
- The deadline for full paper submission is March 29, 2020.
