This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 16th IFIP WG 5.1 International Conference on Product Lifecycle Management, PLM 2019, held in Moscow, Russia, in July 2019.

The 38 revised full papers presented were carefully reviewed and selected from 63 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: 3D modelling and data structures; PLM maturity and industry 4.0; ontologies and semantics; PLM and conceptual design; knowledge and change management; IoT and PLM; integrating manufacturing realities; and integration of in-service and operation.

This book constitutes the refereed post-conference proceedings of the 17th IFIP WG 5.1 International Conference on Product Lifecycle Management, PLM 2020, held in Rapperswil, Switzerland, in July 2020. The conference was held virtually due to the COVID-19 crisis.

The 60 revised full papers presented together with 2 technical industrial papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 80 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections: smart factory; digital twins; Internet of Things (IoT, IIoT); analytics in the order fulfillment process; ontologies for interoperability; tools to support early design phases; new product development; business models; circular economy; maturity implementation and adoption; model based systems engineering; artificial intelligence in CAx, MBE, and PLM; building information modelling; and industrial technical contributions.

The 107 revised full papers presented in these proceedings were carefully reviewed and selected from 133 submissions. The papers are organized in the following topical sections:

Volume I: Sustainability, sustainable development and circular economy; sustainability and information technologies and services; green and blue technologies; AI and blockchain integration with enterprise applications; PLM maturity, PLM implementation and adoption within industry 4.0; and industry 4.0 and emerging technologies:

Volume II: Design, education and management; lean, design and innovation technologies; information technology models and design; and models, manufacturing and information technologies and services.
