Megaproject as Keyhole Surgery: London Crossrail

Multi-Temporal InSAR Structural Damage Assessment: The London Crossrail Case Study

Spaceborne multi-temporal interferometric synthetic aperture radar (MT-InSAR) is a monitoring technique capable of extracting line of sight (LOS) cumulative surface displacement measurements with millimeter accuracy. Several improvements in the techniques and datasets quality led to more effective, near real time assessment and response, and a greater ability of constraining dynamically changin...

A Guide for Megaproject Researchers

Keyhole surgery of CTS using novel tool MiniSure

Introduction The standard open technique for carpal tunnel surgery has wound problems and complications significantly more than minimally invasive surgery using the keyhole Wongsiri technique with MiniSURE, and in particular, the open technique surgery requires a longer time for return to work. CTR surgery with endoscopic devices improves the results with fewer wound problems when compared to t...

Phronesis as a Paradigm for ICT-enabled Transparency: The Case of the Nicaragua Canal Megaproject

This paper proposes the use of Phronesis as an alternate research paradigm to inform the design of information systems that can enhance the transparency and accountability of megaprojects. We illustrate the proposed approach in the context of the Nicaragua Canal Project, a contemporary Mega-Project for which the research questions addressed by the three Aristotean intellectual virtues: episteme...
