Application of Neural Networks for Prior Appraisal of Structural Funds Project Proposals
نویسنده
چکیده
The subject of present paper is to discuss the layout of conception referred to the use of artificial intelligence methods (neural networks) for prior appraisal of project proposals to be submitted by Polish enterprises to European Union in order to get financial assistance for investments from the EU structural funds and the state budget. The experiments are limited to prior appraisal of the projects submitted only, as their practical execution may begin not earlier than on the 1 May 2004 (enlargement of European Union). Author of the present paper discusses the method referred to appraisal of project proposals submitted by enterprises. The method is related to review and acceptance of expenditures for investments co-financed by European Regional Development Fund. The author formulates conception for implementation of appraisal principles which could be considered as element of review and acceptance of expenditures according to Commission Regulation 1685/2000.

Comparison Study on Neural Networks in Damage Detection of Steel Truss Bridge
This paper presents the application of three main Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in damage detection of steel bridges. This method has the ability to indicate damage in structural elements due to a localized change of stiffness called damage zone. The changes in structural response is used to identify the states of structural damage. To circumvent the difficulty arising from the non-linear n...
متن کاملContemporary methods for evaluating complex project proposals
The ability to evaluate project proposals, assessing future success, and organizational value is critical to overall business performance for most enterprises. Yet, predicting project success is difficult and often unreliable. A four-year field study shows that the effectiveness of available methods for evaluating and selecting large, complex project depends on the specific project type, org...

The aim of this study is to present a new method to predict project time and cost under uncertainty. Assuming that what happens in projects implementation which is expressed in the form of Earned Value Management (EVM) indicators is primarily related to the nature of randomness or unreliability, in this study, by using Monte Carlo simulation, and assuming a specific distribution for the time an...
