Rudas Institute of Intelligent Engineering Systems, John von Neumann Faculty of Informatics, Budapest Tech, H-1037 Budapest, Bécsi u. 96/b, e-mail: rudas@bmf.hu Keywords: Product lifecycle management, product modeling, representation of knowledge, human-computer interaction, connection of product modeling with the physical world. Abstract The changed methodology in engineering brought integrated modeling systems with the capability of product definition for lifecycle. Recently, key emphases are on integration of product modeling and modeling processes, representation of knowledge in product model, cooperation of engineers within projects, and interactions with physical world. Considering current product modeling practice in leading industries, this paper concentrates on the above four topics. References [1] W.
