The construction industry has been suffering from delays and cost overruns for decades. Experienced schedulers programs allocate contingencies (both time) based on professional experiences gained knowledge. Such tacit knowledge not captured, stored, shared with inexperienced schedulers. This paper proposes a graph-based automated scheduling (GAS) method to capture, store, reuse the in schedules...

The widespread use of information technologies for construction is considerably increasing the number of electronic text documents stored in construction management information systems. Consequently, automated methods for organizing and improving the access to the information contained in these types of documents become essential to construction information management. This paper describes a me...

The construction of “Wimer”-style table-based algorithms for edge parameters in graphs is discussed. While algorithms for many parameters on graphs classes such as bounded treewidth are commonplace, there are some potential advantages to the table approach, such as automated construction and information gathering.

Industry 4.0 (I4.0) refers to the trend towards automation and data exchange in manufacturing technologies processes which include cyber-physical systems, where internet of things connect with each other environment via networking. This new connectivity opens systems attacks, by, e.g. , injecting or tampering messages. The solution supported by communication protocols such as OPC-UA is sign and...
