Based on this software system the local authorities are able to supervise the groundwater-levels and to find adequate decisions, which finally result in official permissions for the usage of groundwater-reservoirs by the water supply companies.}, subject = {Baubetrieb}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{ElRayesKandil2004, author = {El-Rayes, Khaled and Kandil, Amr}, title = {Distributed Computing for the Optimization of Large-Scale Construction Projects}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.160}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1601}, year = {2004}, abstract = {Available construction time-cost trade-off analysis models can be used to generate trade-offs between these two important objectives, however, their application is limited in large-scale construction projects due to their impractical computational requirements. This paper presents the development of a scalable and multi-objective genetic algorithm that provides the capability of simultaneously optimizing construction time and cost large-scale construction projects. The genetic algorithm was implemented in a distributed computing environment that utilizes a recent standard for parallel and distributed programming called the message passing interface (MPI). The performance of the model is evaluated using a set of measures of performance and the results demonstrate the capability of the present model in significantly reducing the computational time required to optimize large-scale construction projects.}, subject = {Baubetrieb}, language = {en} } @inproceedings{KopytoPetersenDiaz2004, author = {Kopyto, Martin and Petersen, Michael and Diaz, Joaquin}, title = {Cost and Schedule Controlling in Relation to Liquidity Management during Construction Projects}, doi = {10.25643/bauhaus-universitaet.159}, url = {http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:wim2-20111215-1599}, year = {2004}, abstract = {The present paper describes a software application which can be used for relating the scheduled events of a construction project with the respective financial parameters, leading to an overall improvement in general controlling and liquidity management. For this purpose, existing construction schedules are taken and details of the assignment are recorded.

The main advantages are the arrangement of the tasks of a project in a clear, easily readable form and the calculation of valuable information like critical paths. The main disadvantage on the other hand is the inflexibility of the model caused by the modeling paradigms. Small changes of the modeled information strongly influence the whole model and lead to the need to change many more details in the plan. In this article an approach is introduced allowing the creation of more flexible schedules. It aims towards a more robust model that lowers the need to change more than a few information while being able to calculate the important propositions of the known models and leading to further valuable conclusions.}, subject = {Baubetrieb}, language = {en} }
