International DDSS Conferences

The International Conferences on Design & Decision Support Systems in Architecture and Urban Planning are organised bi-annually by Eindhoven University of Technology.

The 10th DDSS conference will be held 19-22 July 2010. 

Traditionally, the DDSS conferences aim to be a platform for both starting and experienced researchers who focus on the development and application of computer support in the areas of urban planning and architectural design. This results in an interesting mix of well-established research projects and first explorations. It also leads to a very valuable cross-over of theories, methods, and technologies for support systems in the two different areas, architecture and urban planning. Generally, the topics in the conferences fall in one of these categories:

The list below shows an overview of the proceedings of these conferences, since 1992.
