Reverse osmosis (RO) technology has been widely applied to water treatment such as seawater desalination, and large RO plants are many in operation around the world. Moreover, much larger plants will be required to secure sufcient water resource in the near future because global water shortage and quality problems are still getting more serious. Mega-ton Water System pr...

during pre-project planning as an essential phase of a project, fundamental decisions that lead to project success or failure will make. this phase of a project is more important essentially in oil, gas and petrochemical mega projects that tremendous amount of resources should consume. uncertainty in the initial phases of the project is at the highest level and therefore major project decisions...

In this paper we propose a workpractice approach towards operationalizing the coordination of mega-projects. The approach matured over several years in development practice at Ericsson, a major supplier of telecommunication products and services worldwide. Key points in the approach are the management of critical dependencies and the construction of a communal understanding on how to coordinate...

Over the last forty years, the Brazilian Amazon has been the object of many development and industrialization programs. The vast majority of those programs have been “mega-projects” implemented by the Brazilian federal government. Recently, several states have implemented their own style of economic development programs in the Amazon. These smaller scale “local” sustainable development programs...

developing countries that have almost oil reserves have no enough mega projects' management ability, technology and finance resources to manage and finish a mega project. host countries for achievement these technologies and resources have to cooperate with foreign and international companies.  different contractual frameworks are used in conjunction with obtaining these technologies and c...

This paper presents some results of a research work concerning algorithms and computational models for real-time analysis of expressive gestures in human full-body movement. As a main concrete result of our research work, we present a collection of software modules for the EyesWeb open architecture (distributed for free at www.eyesweb.org). These software modules, collected in the EyesWeb Expre...
