Success in mega-projects is frequently discussed among project theoreticians and practitioners. This research focuses on high-technology projects and draws on recent literature and fieldwork at ten contemporary megascience projects in Chile, Australia, and Europe. This study concludes that project success is not random, and early adoption of certain approaches, activities, and launch conditions...

‎in this paper allocating a fixed resource for producing ‎finite projects in order to obtaining a desired level of‎ ‎efficiency will be discussed‎. ‎note that it is assumed that a ‎vector of limited sources is at hand‎. ‎this vector of resources can‎ ‎be contained human resource‎, ‎budget‎, ‎equipment‎, ‎and facilities‎. ‎in ‎any firm there exist different suggestions from subunits for ‎running...

This paper describes the technology developed in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency’s (DARPA) High-Performance Knowledge-Base (HPKB) Program that was transferred to follow-on applications. These applications include the following: 1. A data-mining project using naïve Bayesian networks for the U.S. Marine Corps; 2. A Theatre Ballistic Missile Reasoner project, using Bayesian networks ...

At the September 2021 IEEE Standards Association Board (SASB) meeting, following project authorization request (PAR) from Vehicular Technology Society (VTS) Automated Vehicles Committee was approved: • P3116, Standard for Automatic Radar Performance Metr...

Firms are increasingly involving suppliers in new product development (NPD) and one reason for this is to access technological knowledge. Previous research argues that purchasing fulfils an important role in involving the suppliers in NPD. However, purchasing’s role under technological uncertainty has not been investigated in detail. The purpose of this paper is to explore purchasing’s role in ...
