Abstract
DSMs are a simple and powerful tool to represent and work with system models. However, the representation of the interfaces as anonymous pairing entities significantly limits its usage as a stand-alone system design tool. As a result, DSMs are typically engaged in the engineering stage, after the system has been already designed – mostly to cluster, sequence, or analyze the complexity of the system.
