Over the years, complexity management has taken different forms. The Design Structure Matrix is one that has proven very valuable in designing and optimizing technical systems, complex organizations, densely networked processes and large market structures.
The International Design Structure Matrix (DSM) Conference has, since long, been the forum to exchange developments, trends, and ideas to propel complexity management across various industries. Hosted by the Technische Universität München and the BMW Group in Munich, Germany, the 9th International DSM Conference is intended for researchers, management and industrial practitioners that cover the breadth of the today's leading technologies and their industrial applications. This three day conference, held from the 16 to 18 October 2007, brings international experts together in the discussion of advances in complexity management in an industrial context, the development of tools to handle complex architectures and in sharing new research ideas.
