TL;DR: To demonstrate the necessity and feasibility of an integrated bridge planning approach, planning of the Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong was investigated as a case study and the integrated analysis method was applied to the typical bridge segment erection cycle.
Abstract: The progress on a bridge construction project is inevitably dictated by construction sequence, resource availability and structural adequacy. Most construction planning exercises consider only time, sequence and resource factors. However, in practice, the structural adequacy of a partially formed permanent bridge along with critical temporary facilities is heavily weighted by site engineers, as different construction strategies not only affect the sequencing of activities and allocation of resources, but also result in changes in requirements for temporary structural supports and in loading performances of permanent structures. An integrated bridge planning approach examines different construction strategies through both the operations management perspective and the structural integrity perspective. To demonstrate the necessity and feasibility of such an integrated analysis method, planning of the Stonecutters Bridge in Hong Kong was investigated as a case study. The integrated analysis method was applied to the typical bridge segment erection cycle and the results and findings are reported in the paper.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a brief and general presentation of COST, focusing, among others, on the more common methods for cooperation used in COST Projects, and then go on with the particulars of the Project COST 231.
Abstract: The paper starts with a brief and general presentation of COST, focusing, among others, on the more common methods for cooperation used in COST Projects. It then goes on with the particulars of the Project COST 231. The Project was set up in April 1989, to support both the cell planning of the GSM system (the pan-European digital mobile communications system) and more advanced studies carried out in the field of mobile and personal communications. The work covers propagation aspects (eg indoor, outdoor, traditional cells and down to pico-cells in 2D or 3D) as well as system aspects (eg modulation and access techniques ranging from traditional TDMA approaches to DS or FH CDMA schemes).

TL;DR: Integrated Engineering is a BISE-model and combines the following dimensions within an network-oriented SME: cooperation engineering, networking of product features, process features and project parameters, and adaptation of the xRM-principles.
Abstract: Integrated Engineering is a BISE-model and combines the following dimensions within an network-oriented SME:
Cooperation engineering: networking of product features, process features and project parameters (internal Relationship Management);
Collaborative networking: initiation, management, controlling of business relationships along the value chain (external RM);
Corporate range: adaptation of the xRM-principles to the product development process (project engineering), to the complexity management (variants engineering) and to the life cycle engineering.

TL;DR: The focus of the paper is to highlight the enhanced modeling features that form the basis of this method, which provides a framework for modeling large and complex systems.
Abstract: AP/sup 3/ is a simulation-based method that provides a framework for modeling large and complex systems. AP/sup 3/ is geared towards modeling of construction projects, however the underlying philosophy can be adopted for modeling any generic system. Hierarchical and modular modeling constructs form the basis of the modeling methodology. The focus of the paper is to highlight the enhanced modeling features that form the basis of this method. Logical division of a large system such as a construction project into work components, development of simulation models for the identified components and their internal linkage is the key contribution of the work.

TL;DR: The integrative model presented here is a key component of the project engineering approach and enables the automatic creation and prospective benchmarking of complex, detailed project plans.
Abstract: The complexity of a single project – resulting from the amount of activities to be accounted for as well as the required resources – and the amount of simultaneously running projects within an enterprise are rapidly increasing. In order to stay competitive, those factors relevant for the success of project planning and execution, e.g., the project duration or budget, must be specifically identified and realised. On this basis, we developed an integrative simulation model that connects the advantages of existing activity- and actor-oriented models. The integrative model presented here is a key component of the project engineering approach and enables the automatic creation and prospective benchmarking of complex, detailed project plans. The specific aspects of the new, innovative simulation model were developed in cooperation with enterprises of the chemical industry and were verified in different development projects.
