note = "Professor Beno{\^i}t Eynard currently is head of the Department of Mechanical Systems Engineering of the Universit{\'e} de Technologie de Compi{\`e}gne - UTC (France). Previously, he was Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering and Information Technology in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universit{\'e} de Technologie de Troyes - UTT (France). He received a PhD degree from the University of Bordeaux in 1999. Currently, his research interests include Collaborative Design, Product Data Exchange, Product Lifecycle Management, Virtual Prototyping and Digital Manufacturing. He has published over 100 papers in the international journals and conferences in the above-mentioned fields. Dr. Xiu-Tian Yan, PhD, BEng, CEng, FIMechE, MIET(MIEE), FHEA, is a Senior Lecturer, Deputy Director of Teaching and Learning, and Postgraduate Courses Coordinator in Department of Design, Manufacture and Engineering Management of Strathclyde University, UK. Previously, he was a research associate at Engineering Design Centre, Lancaster University. He received his PhD from Loughborough University of Technology in 1992. His research interests include computer support mechatronic product design using AI techniques, knowledge intensive product modelling and simulation, design synthesis for life cycle phases, and mechatronic systems design. He has published over 150 papers in the international journals and conferences in these fields. He is Vice Chairman of the Mechatronics Forum – an international mechatronics organisation sponsored by the Institution of Mechanical Engineers. He is a Fellow of the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, a Chartered Engineer and a member of Institution of Engineering and Technology (formerly IEE). Professor Lionel Roucoules is appointed as full professor at Arts et M{\'e}tiers ParisTech Institute (France) since 2008. Previously, he was Associate Professor of design and manufacturing in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the Universit{\'e} de Technologie de Troyes - UTT (France). He received his PhD in 1999 from the National Polytechnic Institute of Grenoble dealing with collaborative product modelling. The context of his research is integrated design and collaborative IT platform in a global PLM vision. His specific interests are product-process interface and he proposed a DFM-synthesis approach which is now part of a larger DFX modelling for Virtual Prototyping by least commitment supported by MDE platform.
