8th International Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) Conference
October 24 – 26, 2006, Seattle, Washington, USA
The Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) has been identified as a key enabler for achieving these goals, and the technique and associated software applications should now be recognized as an essential part of project delivery.
The Boeing Company and the PMIG-A&D SIG (Project Management Institute Group - Aerospace and Defense Specific Interest Group), will be hosting a three-day conference on the Dependency Structure Matrix (DSM) methodology for primarily industry practitioners, and associated academic researchers and software products.
This conference has been designed to focus on the industry applications of the DSM approaches (sequencing, clustering), as a key enabler of the systems engineering and project planning perspective of complex product / service lifecycle management projects.
The conference website is located at: http://www.boeing.com/ids/dsm06conf/
Based upon the participation (42 institutions), presentations (43), and DSM software products (9) on display at last year’s conference, a significant foundation has been established for this year’s DSM06 conference theme of "Crossing the Chasm : Industry Adoption of DSM Technology." It is represented in the design of 3 sessions that cover the breadth of the technology and its industrial application.
Session A Industrial Applications (Systems Eng. & Project Mgmt.)
- Automotive
- Architectural Engineering & Construction
- Aerospace
- Information Technology / Software
- Oil & Gas Exploration
- Pharmaceutical
- Other
Session B Research Trends
- Systems Engineering
- Project Management
- Organization Design
Session C DSM Software Products
- Prototype
- Commercially Available
