报告摘要：

Technology, consumer sophistication and business globalization have led to a highly competitive business environment which demands faster new product (tangible or intangible) introduction and more complex and value-added, customized products. Since the primary role of product design is to bridge users and technological systems in contexts of product use, it is increasingly important to focus on human-centric concerns, such as understanding the users’ behaviour, needs and requirements of different social and cultural segments. As these human-centric factors become more important in product design and development along with increasing complexity from technological advances such as networking and embedded technologies, multi-disciplinary information management becomes critical for achieving high product integrity. Yet, because of the complexity, uncertainty and cross-disciplinary nature of human and societal factors, formal mechanisms for incorporating these factors consistently into the product design and development process have not been well established. In this regard, the future relevance of the research in design informatics has attracted academics with various backgrounds, mainly from the domains of computer science, artificial intelligence, cognitive science, product design and innovation, and consumer intelligence. With respect to a holistic view of design informatics in human-centric product development, key challenges and future research directions will be identified, this is especially important in the era of Industry 4.0 and beyond.

技术、消费者的成熟度和商业全球化带来的激烈商业环境使得设计/制造公司需要更快地推出新产品并提供更复杂的价值增值定制产品。   由于产品设计的主要作用是在产品使用环境中连接用户和技术系统，因此以人为本的问题变得越来越重要，例如不同社会和文化环境下的用户行为理解、用户需求理解、用户划分等。考虑到人本因素的重要性、产品系统复杂性的提高，多学科信息管理对于实现产品完整性变得至关重要。 然而，由于人类和社会因素的复杂性、不确定性和跨学科性质，目前尚无在产品设计与开发系统中整合人本因素的形式化机制。在这方面，设计信息学吸引了不同背景的学者，包含来自计算机科学、人工智能、认知科学、产品设计与创新以及消费者智能等领域。  本讲座将介绍关于以人为中心的产品开发中设计信息学的整体观点、关键挑战和未来研究方向。
