Complex structures, may they be product architectures, process networks, organizational structures or markets, always are present when developing innovative products. Being able to deal with them therefore is of high significance for a company's success. In fact, the handling of complex systems during the process of product development can generate a unique selling point position for a company.
The Design Structure Matrix (DSM) has become a well accepted means of making complex networks accessible. It has, over the years, led to the establishment of the DSM workshops and conferences that took place e.g. in Boston, Cambridge and Seattle. In the succession of these events, the 10th International DSM Conference is taking place in Stockholm, Sweden.
The conference broaches today's needs in making complex systems accessible. It addresses researchers, industrial managers and practitioners as well as tool developers. Topics of the conference concern new scientific methods and applications of handling complex architectures. Miscellaneous engineering areas like automotive engineering, aerospace, and plant engineering will be discussed. In addition, the congress gives an overview over various methodologies and their use for dealing with complex systems.
The following three main topics form the outline of the DSM Conference 2008 :
Industrial Applications (Systems Engineering and Project Management)
o Automotive
o Architectural engineering and construction
o Aerospace
o Information technology / software
o Manufactured and consumer goods
o Plant Engineering
o Other
Research trends
o Systems engineering
o Project management
o Organization design
o Market modeling
DSM software tools
o Prototypes and research projects
o Commercially available tools
The conference will be based on high quality contributions from leading industry participants, tool developers, and researchers. Different sessions will be offered in alternating order to achieve a diversified exchange of ideas that cover diverse needs in the understanding of complexity management.
As a social program, an informal get-together is planned for those arriving early. On the first evening of the conference, ideas can be exchanged over a conference dinner.

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
