Abstract
Sophisticated commercial products and product assemblies can greatly benefit from novel IT-based approaches to the conditioning of these products and of ‘product knowledge’, leading to what we call Smart Products. The paper motivates the need for such novel approaches, introduces important relevant challenges and research domains, and provides an early definition of Smart Products.
