Abstract

<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&#046; DSM‐based techniques have proven to be very valuable in understanding, designing and optimising complex systems, including: product architectures, organizations and processes&#046;The International DSM Conference provides a platform for practitioners, researchers, and developers of DSM‐related tools to exchange experiences, discuss trends and showcase results and tools&#046; It also acts as a forum to develop new ideas regarding complexity management in all kinds of industries and from many different perspectives&#046;</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&#046; During the conference, practitioners, academics and researchers, and software developers of DSM&#8211;related tools can exchange experiences, development results, trends, and develop new ideas to complexity management in all kinds of industries from different perspectives&#046; <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&#8211;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>
