This paper is a generalization of our previous publications [2,19-20] where some newly developed models of the harmonization theory, together with various practical applications, have been outlined. The goal of the paper under consideration is to describe in depth both the general concepts of the harmonization theory and the fitness of the latter by citing an example from a widely used class of...

The Critical Path Method (CPM) and its development to probabilistic environment, the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT), are the most common tools for predicting and managing different short time or long time projects. However, one of the main difficulties in using mathematical models in real world applications is the vagueness and uncertainty of data and parameters such as activity...

Software has a far ranging nature and sometimes it is difficult to predict the cost. So, it was demanded to develop some useful models that predict the accurate cost, schedule and quality of a software product. There is a great need to accurately predict the cost by selecting the appropriate estimation method. Expert Based Judgment is quite successful. Wideband Delphi estimation comes under thi...

Abstract This research conducted in one construction company Indonesia, the was facing several problems, many projects that already ended have delays. Overdue payment of can reach Rp 252.544.148.-. For calculating late save researcher using Critical Path Method (CPM)-Crashing. CPM-Crashing method accelerate project duration by increase resource budget, so doesn’t need to pay overdue payment. Th...

We introduce an extension to an architecture-independent tool (VISTA) for creating displays of cognitive model behavior, the Categorical Data Display (CaDaDis). Our display offers several views of categorical data. It includes a standard Pert Chart showing tasks by category (or resource), a Nonstandard Pert Chart that shows the temporal dependencies, and a Gantt chart that helps show occurrence...

The PERT technique of three estimates is a traditional, well-known approach to expert estimation. Estimators are asked for their optimistic, most likely and pessimistic estimation; then, a beta probability distribution is built to fit the data. Having a probability distribution for each activity allows a Montecarlo simulation to estimate the overall project effort with better accuracy. Still, e...

We discuss the running couplings in the standard model, SU(3) C ×SU(2) L ×U(1) Y , when the Higgs sector is replaced by SU(N T C) technicolor. Particular attention is given to the running of the couplings at momentum scales where technicolor is nonperturbative, and in this region we apply a relativistic constituent technifermion model. This model has been tested against the known running of the...
