<H3>Dependency and Structure Modelling (DSM) techniques support the management of complexity by focusing attention on the elements of a complex system and how they are related to each other. DSMâ€based techniques have proven to be very valuable in understanding, designing and optimising complex systems, including: product architectures, organizations and processes.The International DSM Conference provides a platform for practitioners, researchers, and developers of DSMâ€related tools to exchange experiences, discuss trends and showcase results and tools. It also acts as a forum to develop new ideas regarding complexity management in all kinds of industries and from many different perspectives.</H3> <H3>The International Dependency and Structure (DSM) Conference is the annual forum to discuss, how complex systems can be managed by understanding, modeling and designing the dependencies in a complex system. During the conference, practitioners, academics and researchers, and software developers of DSM–related tools can exchange experiences, development results, trends, and develop new ideas to complexity management in all kinds of industries from different perspectives. <H3>The following three main topics form the outline of the DSM Conference 2011:</H3> <P> </P> <H3>Industrial Applications (Systems Engineering and Project Management)</H3> <UL> <LI>Automotive</LI> <LI>Architectural engineering and construction</LI> <LI>Aerospace</LI> <LI>Information technology / software</LI> <LI>Manufactured and consumer goods</LI> <LI>Plant Engineering</LI> <LI>Other</LI></UL> <P> </P> <H3>Research Trends</H3> <UL> <LI>DSM approaches and methodologies</LI> <LI>DSM complementary approaches such as Domain Mapping Matrix (DMM) </LI> <LI>Multiple–Domain Matrix (MDM) approaches</LI> <LI>Systems Engineering, System Dynamics, General System Theory and others</LI> <LI>Applications of Graph Theory in Engineering</LI> <LI>Project management</LI> <LI>Organization design</LI> <LI>Market modeling </LI></UL> <P> </P> <H3>DSM software tools</H3> <UL> <LI>Prototypes and research projects</LI> <LI>Commercially available tools</LI></UL> <BR></H3>
