risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. the conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response pl...

urban large-scale projects have always been a controversial topic of debates. these projects are time- and money-consuming and the rejection or approve of their functionality is based on political intentions. in the last hundred years, each of them costed billions of dollars from private or public budgeting, used technical and human resources. these risky-complex creatures are built to fulfill ...

One of the risks recognized by relevant authorities is the risk of outsourcing ITS projects. The purpose of this study was to design and explain the pattern of determining the critical success factors in outsourcing large-scale ITS projects in the Ministry of Roads and Urban Development (Road Maintenance and Transportation Organization). This study was performed using qualitative method. The pa...

Abstract Biological and biomedical research is increasingly conducted in large, interdisciplinary collaborations to address problems with significant societal impact, such as reducing antibiotic resistance, identifying disease sub-types, genes that control for drought tolerance plants. Many of these projects are data driven involve the collection analysis biological at a large-scale. As result,...

Redevelopment of distressed and blighted areas are targeted by most of development policies.However, a number of policies have been changed as the result of the ineffectiveness of the previous experiences, theincompatibility of the development tools and plans, the lack of financial resources or social movements. Large-scaleredevelopment projects have usually been considered as the powerful tool...

Face validation is an informal type of validation, usually applied in the early stages a simulation project or model development process. used to determine reasonableness when advanced methods such as statistical analysis sensitivity are not applicable. In large-scale projects warfare applications, which consist large number and variety models that cannot be evaluated independently contain high...

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...

The trend in the world of Information Technology (IT) is getting increasingly large and difficult projects rather than smaller and easier. However, the data on large-scale IT project success rates provide cause for concern. This paper seeks to answer why large-scale IT projects are different from and more difficult than other typical engineering projects. Drawing on the industrial experience, a...
