Resource planning in large-scale construction projects has been a complicated management issue requiring mechanisms to facilitate decision making for managers. In the present study, a computer-aided simulation model is developed based on concurrent control of resources and revenue/expenditure. The proposed method responds to the demand of resource management and scheduling in shell material emb...

Legacy systems are migrated to newer technology to keep them maintainable and to meet new requirements. To aid choosing between migration and redevelopment, a quality prognosis of the migrated software, compared with the legacy system is required. Moreover, as the driving forces behind a migration effort differ, migration tooling has to be tailored according to project-specific needs, to produc...

This paper discusses an Australian project where online learning materials with problem-based learning designs are being developed in a form which facilitates their inclusion in digital repositories and learning management systems. To that end the products are being developed as properly formed SCORM compliant IMS content packages. This paper discusses issues associated with the design of onlin...

Many project managers of a large scale project shortened delivery period of his or her projects unwillingly by the request of clients. However, some of them believe there is no difference between a large scale project and a small scale project in shortening the delivery period and accept shortening finally. This is because they are not informed theoretically of what impact can be made by shorte...

ontology is the main infrastructure of the semantic web which provides facilities for integration, searching and sharing of information on the web. development of ontologies as the basis of semantic web and their heterogeneities have led to the existence of ontology matching. by emerging large-scale ontologies in real domain, the ontology matching systems faced with some problem like memory con...

Negligence of former industrial sites (―brownfields‖) has adversely impacted urban landscapes throughout the industrialized world. Brownfield redevelopment has recently emerged as a sustainable land use strategy and impetus for urban revitalization. This study presents a system dynamics model of the redevelopment process that illustrates how delays compound before realizing financial benefits f...

Project duration is one of the methods to measure efficiency project implementation. This study identifies factors influencing urban village redevelopment projects (UVRPs) in China. Based on theory new institutional economics and behavioral economics, this develops three hypotheses regarding causal relationship between arrangement duration. Statistical analysis data 439 UVRPs collected from sev...
