Product design is an evolving process which is characterized with creativity and uncertainty. The task management in this process is different from traditional ones because it involves more specific factors such as user specifications, product design specifications, reengineering, design process, and design data. In this article, we aim to analyze product design process with the viewpoint of pr...

This paper describes work done in response to a commission from the Ministry of Defence DEC ISTAR office, on behalf of the MoD Directorate of Targeting and Information Operations. The overall requirement was to provide guidance to Information Operations staff both in the UK and in theatre. The objectives of the particular work package discussed in this paper were: to assess the suitability of a...

This document describes given an analysis of the computer security aspects of the demonstrator developed in work package 12 of the Wireless Health and Care (WsHC) project. A risk analysis is performed and requirements for the system are established. The implementation of security measurements implemented in the demonstrator is discussed. Finally the risk analysis is revised according to the pro...

Two new types of hierarchy probability cost analysis (HPCA) model incorporating money allocated is money spent (MAIMS) principle based on definite work breakdown structure (WBS) level for EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) projects are presented. The proposed models have skillfully solved dilemma to appropriate cost elements and maximize the efficiency of information for cost risk ...

in the real world, risk and uncertainty are two natural properties in the implementation of mega projects. most projects fail to achieve the pre-determined objectives due to uncertainty. a linear integer programming optimization model was used in this work to solve a problem in order to choose the most appropriate risk responses for the project risks. a mathematical model, in which work structu...

The main purpose of the study is to develop an integrated framework for managing project risks by analyzing risk across project, work package and activity levels, and developing responses. Design/methodology/approach: The study first reviews the literature of various contemporary risk management frameworks in order to identify gaps in project riskmanagement knowledge. Then it develops a concept...
