In this era of mass-innovation, multi-stakeholders are more tightly engaged in smart product and service design and operation, where increasingly frequent transdisciplinary and cross-organization collaborations result in an explosive integration and innovation of engineering concepts, experience, theories, and methodologies. Considering human’s limited cognitive ability and specialty, advanced AI techniques and computing methods are leveraged to facilitate product/service design and operation in all aspects. Transdisciplinary engineering informatics is emerging in smart product and service design and operation, aiming to solve the severing contradiction between multifarious heterogeneous resources and conventional approaches for data/information/knowledge management.
