According to different opponents and commercial giants in software industries, the open source style software development has enough capacity to complete successfully the large scale projects. But we have seen many flaws and loops in collaboration and handling of mega scale projects in open source environment. Perhaps the collaboration is a key of successful project development. In this article...

Infrastructure mega projects involve several complex clusters of interacting activities. Establishing suitably integrated management support systems for construction clients should be useful in targeting best value with reduced rework and wastages. This paper presents highlights from a co-ordinated cluster of ongoing Hong Kong based research initiatives that aims to develop an integrated Manage...

Abstract Despite the proposed ‘certainty’ in a city or region hosting mega-event, there has long been issues of uncertainty surrounding planning and implementation what have until now essentially mega-projects. Large events found variety ways to adapt respond unforeseen circumstances due political conflicts, oversize venues, limited time implementation, legacies that are difficult manage. Consi...

The research proposes a “conceptualERP-framework” for a smart factory during technology diffusion “mega-projects”. Application of knowledge discovery and classification algorithms is applied to draw probabilistic inferences based on FP-Growth-algorithm without ignoring the “balanced scorecard (BSC)-model-driven architecture” which is embedded with business intelligence. The prime objective bein...

This article examines outstanding “sustainable” skyscrapers that received international recognition, including LEED certification. It identifies vital green features in each building and summarizes the prominent elements for informing future projects. Overall, this research is significant because, given mega-scale of skyscrapers, any improvement their design, engineering, construction will have...

This paper purports to provide answers to the following questions with regard to multi-crane building construction sites: (1) Do such construction sites differ from smaller sites only in magnitude, or are there unique characteristics that stem from the size of the site and the multitude of cranes? (2) Is equipment planning for such projects similar to that of projects serviced by a small number...

This pilot study of a school-based telepractice pilot project in a rural, remote county of North Carolina investigated the satisfaction of parents/caregivers, teachers, and administrators with a year-long telespeech therapy program delivered by a university clinic. Upon completion of the almost year-long project, a satisfaction survey incorporating a 5-point equal-appearing Likert scale (1= str...

In the middle of accelerating climate change and global energy transition from fossil fuels towards low-carbon alternatives, Russia has set a course for mitigating negative effects these phenomena while seeking to profit supposed positive prospects warming conditions: example, expected opening Northern Sea Route commercial traffic or producing renewable technologies export. To reach goals, wiel...
