T1  - A flexible model for scheduling building processes based on graph theory and fuzzy numbers
N2  - The methods currently used for scheduling building processes have some major advantages as well as disadvantages. 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.

T1  - Building a Better Future: Major Results from the ICCI Cluster Project
N2  - To support research in the building sector and in order to help it move towards a new digital economy, the European Commission under the 5th Framework initiative, especially the IST programme, funded various RTD projects. The opportunity to bring these IST projects together was acknowledged so that stronger links can be created under a clustering umbrella and that, moreover, links of those projects with their RTD environment could be facilitated. This has been the objective of work carried out within the ICCI (IST-2001-33022) Cluster project. This paper introduces the main aims and objectives of the project, and then presents its principal outcomes. In a second part, it synthesises the underlying concepts, technology and tools that will make ICT-based Construction a reality in a near future, and gives recommended actions for the industry, the EC and the Construction ICT R&D in Europe, giving some benefit of this project experience to the three communities.

T1  - Cost and Schedule Controlling in Relation to Liquidity Management during Construction Projects
N2  - 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. Thus it becomes possible to assess a future payment status should changes in the designated schedule occur.

T1  - Distributed Computing for the Optimization of Large-Scale Construction Projects
N2  - 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.

T1  - Eine formale Beschreibung der Bauauftragsrechnung : Grundlage zur Anpassung und Entwicklung eines Informationssystems
N2  - Die fachlichen und organisatorischen Aufgaben der Informationsverarbeitung im Prozeß der Bauauftragsrechnung werden als theoretische Grundlage für die Anpassung und Neukonzeption netzverteilter Informationssysteme formal beschrieben. Hierzu erfolgen Untersuchungen von Methoden, Verfahren, Strukturen und Abläufen sowie der in Bauunternehmen angewendeten Informationssysteme. Grundlage einer Modellierungsmethode sind Abstraktionen von Prozeßschritten und Ereignissen in einer Ereignisgesteuerten Prozeßkette, Entitytypen in einem Entity Relationship Model, Funktionsbäume und Organisationseinheiten sowie deren mögliche Relationen. Mit dieser Methodik werden die Prozesse, Informationsdefinitionen, Funktionen und die Organisationsstruktur einzeln modelliert und Relationen zwischen den Modellelementen gebildet. Aus der fachlichen Auswertung der Modelle und Relationen folgen fachgebietsspezifische Prozeßabläufe und Arbeitsumgebungen. Deren Anwendung wird für ein Customizing vorhandener Informationsysteme und bei einer Neuimplementierung betrachtet. Neben einer umfangreichen fachlichen Problemanalyse leistet die Arbeit einen Beitrag zum methodischen Vorgehen bei Neukonzeption baubetrieblicher Informationssysteme.
N2  - The specialized and organizational tasks in the information processing of tendering and contract execution in the construction industry are formaly described as theoretical basis for customizing and redevelopment of a information system was distributed in a network. For this purpose it is essential to examine methodes, procedures, structures and the course of events as well as information systems in a building enterprise. Basis for a methode of modeling are selected abstractions for steps of processes and events in a Event-driven Process Chain, entitytyps in a Entity Relationship Model, trees of functions, units for organisation and there usually relationships. With the help of this methodes the processes, the definitions of informations, the functions and the structures of organisation are separated designed and form relationships between the elements of modeling. The results of the specialized evaluation of the models and relationships are course of events and enviroments for special fields. The application of this results is investigated for a customizing of existing systems and development of a new information system. In addition to a surround specialized analyse of problems the work gives a contribution for methodical procedure and reengineering of information systems in the construction industry.

T1  - Einsatz eines Dokumenten - Management - Sytems (DMS) für Eingangsrechnungen in Bauunternehmen
N2  - Die Aug. Prien Bauunternehmung hat im Jahre 2001/2002 ein DMS eingeführt. Die Gründe dafür waren, dass die Aufbewahrungsfristen von sechs auf zehn Jahre erhöht wurden, man die Abläufe in der Verwaltung straffen und die Postwege von und zu großen Baustellen sparen wollte. Die Einführung des Systems dauerte sechs Monate. Die Zusammenarbeit mit den externen Beratern wurde a-typisch gestaltet: kein Pflichtenheft (sondern Projektbeschreibung) und keinen festen Preis (sondern Budgetrahmen). Die aufkommenden Fragen und Probleme konnten in ständigen Feed-Back-Schleifen zwischen den Anwendern, dem Projektleiter und den externen Programmierer gelöst werden. Interne Widerstände konnten durch Durchsetzungswillen als auch Eingehen auf die Einwände überwunden werden. Bei der Programmierung des Systems wurde darauf geachtet, dass die Handhabung für die Anwender so einfach wie möglich gestaltet wurde. Mit der Einführung des Systems zeichnen fast alle Anwender (>90%) ihre Rechnungen am Bildschirm ab - ob in der Zentrale oder draußen auf der Baustelle. Die Bauleiter auf den Baustellen können sich über eine ISDN-Leitung auf einen Terminal-Server in der Zentrale einwählen und dann so wie im Büro arbeiten. Bereits archivierte Rechnungen können sich die Anwender jederzeit über das firmeninterne Baustellen-Informations-System (B-I-S) wieder aufrufen. Die Rechnungskontrolle braucht nicht mehr die Belege in Bauleiter-Mappen sortieren, weiß jederzeit wo eine Rechnung zur Bearbeitung liegt und bekommt nur noch die geänderten Rechnungen zur Bearbeitung (alle anderen gehen direkt in den automatischen Zahlungslauf). Durch die Einführung des Systems konnte eine Person in der Rechnungskontrolle eingespart werden. Der Return on Invest (ROI) liegt bei 1,4 Jahren, was ein guter Wert ist. Zwischenzeitlich werden weitere Belege gescannt.

T1  - Groundwater-Monitoring based on dynamic co-operative eGovernment-Processes
N2  - As a result of the pilot-project “Grundwasser-Online” the supervision and the active controlling of large monitoring- and catchment-areas are realised by a co-operative integration of all related institutions, a synchronisation-process to combine all distributed data into one central server database, and a high-level eGovernment-Service to provide evaluated information over the internet. 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.

T1  - Integrated Engineering Workflow focused on the Structural Engineering in the Industrial Environment
N2  - The engineering and construction industry has been slow to exploit the full potential of information technology. The industry is highly fragmented, price sensitive, risk-adverse, and profit margins are small. Each project is unique with a small amount of technological innovation opportunities to capitalise on from one project to the next. Technological innovations that have been taking place are just simulating the old traditional paper workflow. Engineering information in digital form is being conveyed using traditional paper representations, which have to be interpreted by humans before the information can be used in other applications, thereby creating ‘islands of information’. It can be seen that poorly implemented IT strategies are duplicating paperwork, rather than reducing or eliminating it (Crowley et al., 2000). This paper will introduce the Integrated Engineering Workflow (IEW) concept to re-organise a structural discipline working on multi-disciplinary projects so as to maximise the advantages offered by new information technology.

T1  - Interaction of Data Bases and Graphical Interfaces in Civil Engineering
N2  - Applications for civil engineering tasks usually contain graphical user interfaces for the engineering processes. Persistent objects of the applications are stored to data bases. The influence of the interaction between a graphical user interface and a data base for the development of an civil engineering application is investigated in this paper. A graphic application for the linear elastic analysis of plane frames, which was previously developed with standard tools of the Java platform, is compared to a redesigned implementation using a generalized data base for persistent objects. The investigation leads to the following results : - A strict distinction between persistent and transient objects influences the class structure of an application, in particular the class structure of a graphical user interface. - The structure of an application depends on the logic for updating of references to persistent and transient graphical objects after an application is read from a file. - The complexity of the reference management can usually be handled better by just in time referencing associated with String - identifiers rather than by automated referencing associated with Name - identifiers.

T1  - Internet-based Workflow-Management for Civil Engineering Projects
N2  - The growing competition pressure in the building industry increases the demands on the design and construction processes in respect to economical, technical and time aspects. These demands require efficient improvements of the value-added chain, which can be realized mainly with the usage of innovative information- and communication-technologies. To support the collaboration of all participants involved in a certain building project the Workflow-Management-System “BauKom-Online” has been developed. In the focus of the system is to support the coordination of the participants and their information exchange. Such a software-method is well suited to ensure a high quality planning process. The modelling of business-processes enables a better self-comprehension of the participants work and helps to enhance the project performance. The system architecture of BauKom-Online contains two basic components: the processmodelling tool and the workflow-engine. The process-model contains of activities and states of the planning and construction processes and their relations. These connected processes compose the workflow. Such a process-model for engineering purposes has to satisfy several needs, e.g., the consideration of planning and building alternatives, dynamic changes of the model during execution of the project and the linkage to further technical objects like costs, building structure, specifications and documentmanagement. Furthermore, the scheduling of the project can be done within the process-model and can be visualized as a Gantt-diagram. ...
