🎄 Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from the DSM Conference Organizers! 🎄✨ As the holiday season fills the air with joy, warmth, and togetherness, the DSM Conference team would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has been part of our journey this year. 2024 has been a successful year. Our intense preparation work for the 2024 event allowed us to enjoy an innovative, collaborative conference concept, and we are already putting our efforts into the 2025 event which will be at least as great as the 2024 DSM conference 😉 None of our achievements this year would have been possible without you. Whether you attended, shared your expertise, or supported us from afar, your passion and commitment to driving progress have made a difference. This holiday season, we wish you and your loved ones peace, joy, and countless moments of happiness. Here’s to celebrating the accomplishments of the past year and stepping into 2025 with renewed energy and purpose.

About us
Dependency and Structure Modelling (DSM, also known as Design Structure Matrix) techniques support the management of complexity by focusing attention on the elements of a complex system and how they relate to each other. DSM‐based techniques have proven to be very valuable in understanding, designing, and optimizing complex system architectures such as those of products, organizations, and processes. The International DSM Conference provides a platform for researchers, practitioners, and developers of DSM‐related tools to exchange experiences, discuss trends, and showcase results and tools. It also acts as a forum for developing new ideas regarding complexity management in all kinds of industries and from many different perspectives. The conference mission is to enhance understanding and managing complex interdependent relationships within and across product/process/people architectures. The conference objectives of DSM 2021 are: - Leverage 23 years DSM body of knowledge with more active industry/academia/government institutions - Show visible collaboration with other international technical/business professional societies (i.e. INCOSE, IEEE, PMI, ASME, etc.) - Require onsite participation of recent regional industry case studies - Require onsite participation of at least 3 of the 10 DSM Symbiotic Technology (DST) providers - Continue evolution and improvements to Industry Sprint Workshops (ISW)
