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...

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...

The acceptance of the “E-Russia” project by the government of the Russian Federation presents a significant challenge to existing management structures. Particularly apparent is the need to be able to optimize the financial aspects of a project of this magnitude. Large project budget monitoring and control, including effective warnings regarding impending trends and deviations, is an imposing t...

An adaptive optical music recognition system is being adapted as part of an experiment in developing a comprehensive framework of tools to manage the workflow of large-scale digitization projects. This framework will not only support the path from physical object and/or digitized material into a digital library repository, it will also offer effective tools for incorporating metadata and perusi...

The aim of the IDEA (Identification électronique des animaux) project is to collect information on the feasibility of the introduction into the European Union (EU) of an animal electronic identification system, as referred to in Directive 92/102 and Regulation 1760/2000. The project will run for a period of four years (1998-2001) and will include one million animals in six countries (France, Ge...

Software testing in agile development is very complex issue in the IT world. Since agile methods do not focus much on testing activities and agile software development does not include testing practices required for a quality project, the process of finding the suitable method for testing, especially for large scale projects is challenging. In this paper, we propose a concept of integrated agil...

In product line development (PLD), maintaining architecture against the rapid changes in market requirements and the technical environment is important. When maintaining architecture, architecture migration is often necessary to keep the architecture up to date. An issue in architecture migration is the continuity of the products. Because architecture is the basis of the development of core ass...

This paper describes the construction and research program of the Learning Through Collaborative Visualization (CoVis) Project. a testbed for exploring science education reform with telecommunications technology. The CoVis testbed is contrasted with other forms of cdu-cational research in an " e c o l o ~ y of paradigms." which argues that testbeds are in fact a new setting for research with di...
