A method to manage the co-evolution of Product an Organization architectures

Complex systems design and especially automotive design is facing continuous technological evolution that needs stronger integration. To tackle this issue, a method for modeling products and organizations architectures is presented. This method will be completed by a "management by uncertainty" tool to help managers anticipate the co-evolutions of project domains and properly structure these domains
