TL;DR: In this paper, a project-based learning experience carried out in the context of a project management course at the University of Extremadura is analyzed, which suggests that BIM can be considered a virtual learning environment, from which students value the competences developed.
Abstract: The emergence of building information modeling (BIM) methodology requires the training of professionals with both specific and transversal skills. In this paper, a project-based learning experience carried out in the context of a project management course at the University of Extremadura is analyzed. To that end, a questionnaire was designed and given to students who participated in the initiative. Results suggest that BIM can be considered a virtual learning environment, from which students value the competences developed. The emotional performance observed was quite flat. Similarly, students valued the usefulness of the initiative. Students expressed a desire for the methodological change of the university classes, and thought that BIM methodology could be useful for other courses. The results obtained show a line of work to be done to improve the training of students and university teaching.

TL;DR: Communication and coordination in a real-life case of concurrent design in the aircraft industry has been modelled and specified within the modelling framework DESIRE, on the basis of Jennings' (1995) informal, multi-agent model of cooperative problem solving.
Abstract: In current engineering practice often traditional management structures and virtual organisations are combined. In addition to formal structures, informal, dynamic organisational structures emerge in which engineers are personally responsible for effective interaction. They decide when to exchange information, and with whom, when to question requirements, when to acknowledge conflicts, et cetera. In such virtual organisations, project coordination may become quite complicated. Communication and coordination in a real-life case of concurrent design in the aircraft industry has been modelled and specified within the modelling framework DESIRE, on the basis of Jennings' (1995) informal, multi-agent model of cooperative problem solving.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors suggest project management concepts and techniques that can facilitate a successful initiation of new expert systems projects, emphasizing the principle of communication, cooperation, and coordination, and the standard responsibility chart is presented as a mechanism for coordinating efforts of the project personnel.
Abstract: The author suggests project management concepts and techniques that can facilitate a successful initiation of new expert systems projects. The principle of communication, cooperation, and coordination is emphasized. The standard responsibility chart is presented as a mechanism for coordinating the efforts of the project personnel. The roles of domain experts, knowledge engineers, and programmers are discussed in the context of initiating and managing an expert systems projects. Specific recommendations to the practitioners for getting started are presented. The guidelines can be easily adapted for a customized procedure for any specific project situation. >

TL;DR: The STRIP project computes travel time estimates by processing GSM signalling messages extracted by special probes and the output is also the positioning of mobile originated calls sorted from the dialled number.
Abstract: The STRIP project computes travel time estimates by processing GSM signalling messages extracted by special probes. The output is also the positioning of mobile originated calls sorted from the dialled number, e.g. 112.

TL;DR: In this paper, an experienced grouting engineer is employed to work closely with the design team to establish practical and achievable goals for both the quality control program and the grouting operation as a whole.
Abstract: A good quality control program helps ensure that technical requirements of the grouting are met and also adds to the overall success of a grouting project. The quality control program for underground grouting starts with the design. The design must be adequate to meet the project engineering requirements while remaining reasonable and sufficiently flexible from a constructability standpoint. This can be best accomplished by engaging an experienced grouting engineer during the early stages of design. This individual will work closely with the design team to establish practical and achievable goals for both the quality control program and the grouting operation as a whole.
