Since 2003, the PLM International Conference (PLM IC) brings together researchers, developers and users of product lifecycle management. It aims to integrate business approaches to the collaborative creation, management, and dissemination of product and process data throughout the extended enterprises that create, manufacture, and operate engineered products and systems. The conference aims at involving all stakeholders of the wide concept of PLM, hoping to shape the future of this field and advance the science and practice of enterprise development. Starting 2009, PLM IC became the official conference of the IFIP Working Group WG 5.1 “Global Product development for the whole lifecycle.”
