Data management functionality is not only needed in large scale database management systems, but also in embedded systems that are the predominant form of computing systems today. However, resource restrictions and heterogeneity of hardware complicate the development of data management solutions. In current practice, this typically leads to redevelopment of data management solutions since exist...

Introduction The aim of this paper is to make the case for a comprehensive and systematic study of the likely effects of the redevelopment of the King’s Cross railway lands and the separate but related rebuilding and decking over of Euston Station. It’s argued that an independent study, properly constructed, can inform both public opinion and decision-makers of the scale and nature of changes o...

In the last decade, theory of constraint application in project management lead to make a new approach for project scheduling and control as a critical chain. In this paper, a multi-objective optimization model for multi-project scheduling on critical chain is investigated. The objectives include time, cost and quality. In order to solve the problem, a Simulated Annealing algorithm is developed...

BACKGROUND Residents of many cities lack affordable, quality housing. Economically disadvantaged neighborhoods often have high rates of poverty and crime, few institutions that enhance the quality of its residents' lives, and unsafe environments for walking and other physical activity. Deteriorating housing contributes to asthma-related illness. We describe the redevelopment of High Point, a We...

Slum redevelopment is a difficult and complex process that needs multidisciplinary approach involving government organizations, non-governmental the corporate sector, community. Governments have increasingly invited private financiers investors to take care of public provisions, making public-private partnerships (PPPs) new perspective for development sector. reconstruction efforts are being ca...

Th is paper focuses on the redevelopment of the Faculty of Built Environment and Engineering at Queensland University of Technology. It describes the theoretical framework upon which reconceptualisation for redevelopment was based and outlines some of the outcomes that have emerged through implementation of the model for change which developed. What emerges is a Faculty committed to transformat...

risk management is one of the most important aspects of project management that identifies, assesses and responds to project risks. although many papers have been published in project risk response, presented tools and methods are poor. hence, in this paper, we present an optimization model to respond project risk that seeks to optimize two key criteria of project: cost and time. the proposed m...

Cities throughout the world are experimenting with Low Impact Development (LID) strategies to replace ecosystem services degraded by urbanization. Stormwater management may need both centralized/publicly-managed infrastructure and decentralized provision landowners. For landowners participate in these programs they will some latitude choice of techniques siting. However, landowner choices affec...
