Conference topics and proposed contributions

Theme 2008: Product Data Standards – Positioned for Success

This year, 2008, PDT goes back to its roots. Or forward to where it started. The conference will focus on product data standards. The big difference from where we were 16 years ago is that we will present and discuss standards in use, and how those standards are setting the framework for a successful PLM architecture: STEP is in use for CAD data exchange; PDM schema for PDM data exchange. With PLCS the life cycle is in scope and PLCS is already in production use. STEP AP233, for Systems Engineering data, is yet another very important contribution.

It is time to rethink the strategic importance of product data standards. The SOA revolution has started and is paving the way for STEP and PLCS too. The combination of PLCS and Web services is already used in production. Several large R&D projects are further researching these topics. All this has the potential of transforming complete industries.

Conference venue

The conference will take place on September 29 - 30 2008 at Scandic Hotel Opalen, Göteborg, Sweden.
