The wonderful wizard of Configuration!

Configuration is a special type of design approach where the product being configured is composed from instances of a set of predefined component types that can be combined in ways defined by a set of constraints. This task requires powerful knowledge representation formalisms and acquisition methods to capture the variety and complexity of configurable products. Furthermore, efficient reasoning methods are required to support intelligent interactive behavior, solution search, satisfaction of user preferences, personalization, optimization, reconfiguration, and diagnosis. The two main focus of my researvch achivities are the following:

Intelligent User Interfaces and Business Process Integration which includes processes of personalization, explanations, recommender technologies. As well as, configuration web service and their integration into the production process. Configuration for pick-to-order, assemble-to-order, make-to-order, engineer-to-order. Configuration daskboads for product customization. Environments for feature model development and maintenance, design theories for applications and tools

Current research lines (but not lmited to:)

Reconfiguring Systems and Practices for Sustainability: an Integrated Approach on Green Configuration

(a) AI-Driven Reconfiguration of Products, Processes, and Systems: this perspective explores how these technologies can address sustainability challenges and drive practical solutions that generate positive environmental, economic and societal impact. Investigating how AI techniques facilitate reconfiguration to meet sustainability goals, with a particular emphasis on modular design approaches, reconfigurable manufacturing systems, and AI-based diagnostic tools.

(b) Reconfiguring Production and Consumption Practices: this perspective includes examining how new drivers such as emerging technologies, evolving meanings, and skill transformations are introduced and integrated into existing practices. Analyzing to what extent the reconfiguration of production and consumption practices interrelates and and how targeted interventions can initiate self-reinforcing cycles of sustainable change.
