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.

Abstract:
As systems become increasingly data-centric, interdisciplinary engineering design faces growing complexity and interdependencies. This paper investigates how a combined Design Structure Matrix (DSM) and graph-based modeling approach supports interdisciplinary decision-making by revealing critical data dependencies, compared to standalone DSM or graph models. Based on a case study on autonomous public transportation and expert input, the results illustrate complementary insights enabled by the combined approach and discuss its implications for industrial system design.
