Knowledge Base Repository
In addition to research papers, the Design Society is developing several valuable resources for those interested in the study of design. These include a repository of PhD theses, a library of case studies and transcripts of design activities, and an archive of our newsletters. Please note that these resources are accessible exclusively to Design Society members.

Abstract:
We propose Design Structure Model Data Exchange file format as a common file format to promote reliable and efficient exchange of Design Structure Model (DSM) data. The DSMDE is an extension of the Matrix Market (MM) file format, a widely used file format for the exchange of dense and sparse matrix data arising in numerous scientific applications. At present there does not exist a common standard for sharing DSM data. We believe that a standardized exchange format will greatly facilitate research and development of DSM modelling techniques by making data widely available than currently possible. The DSMDE is expected to be a standard way to share DSM data among researchers, practitioners, and on different programming environments.
