title = "Experimenting with the NK and DSM models",
abstract = "The theory of complex systems, which has been applied successfully in evolutionary biology, is gaining popularity for the modeling and analysis of complex product development (PD) systems. Modeling complex PD systems is essential to understand how system elements and their dependencies impact system properties in several aspects such as performance, convergence, and evolution. In this paper we use the NK and NKC models to simulate and analyze complex PD systems, which are represented by the design structure matrix (DSM). The main objective is to assess whether these models can be useful in analyzing DSMs; particularly, assessing the effect of architecture on performance and evolution.",
