Title: Large Language Models for Combinatorial Optimization of Design Structure Matrix

Abstract:
arXiv:2506.09749v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: In complex engineering systems, the dependencies among components or development activities are often modeled and analyzed using Design Structure Matrix (DSM). Reorganizing elements within a DSM to minimize feedback loops and enhance modularity or process efficiency constitutes a challenging combinatorial optimization (CO) problem in engineering design and operations. As problem sizes increase and dependency networks become more intricate
