Construction project control attempts to effectively obtain real-time information and enhance dynamic control and management via information sharing and analysis from involved participants of the projects to reduce construction conflicts and project delay. However, extending the construction project control system to job sites is considered inefficient since construction sites are unconventiona...

This paper discusses an experiment that measured the effectiveness of a hazard identification process used to support safety in Defence Standard 00-56 project. The experimental case study utilised a Ministry of Defence project that assessed simultaneously two potential suppliers who were competing for a MOD equipment contract. The UK MOD Corporate Research Programme funded the comparison work a...

the dynamic nature of projects and the fact that they are carried out in changing environments, justify the need for their periodic monitoring and control. collection of information about the performance of projects at control points costs money. the corrective actions that may need to be taken to bring the project in line with the plan also costs money. on the other hand, penalties are usually...

The USACOM project is part of the larger SAIC/BBN Advanced Joint Planning (AJP) Advanced Concepts Technology Demonstration (ACTD). The primary objective of the project is to demonstrate the effectiveness of Tipster-sponsored data extraction technologies. Although this project is just now getting underway, we plan to investigate the applicability of data extraction technologies in a number of sc...

The evaluation of retrieval effectiveness has played and is playing a central role in Information Retrieval (IR). To evaluate the effectiveness of IR systems, more than 50 (maybe 100) different evaluation metrics have been proposed. In this paper we sketch our Axiometrics project, that aims to a formal account of IR effectiveness metrics.

We examine the drivers of project performance and customer satisfaction in outsourced software projects using a proprietary panel dataset. The data cover 822 customer observations related to 182 unique projects executed by an India-based software services vendor. Adopting a multidisciplinary perspective, we investigate how project planning, team stability, and communication effectiveness (antec...
