Decision making has always been a major topic of research in the field of construction
engineering and management. Recent trends (such as the push for sustainability, the …

Construction processes range from the very simple to the very complex. Complex processes
are difficult to analyze and optimize using standard mathematical methods. Simulation is an …

This paper examines the characteristics of discrete-event simulation systems in terms of their
application breadth (general or special purpose), modeling paradigm (process interaction …

This study presents an integrated method of construction-process simulation and vision-
based context reasoning for productivity analysis of an earthmoving process in a tunnel …

This paper suggests the methodology to follow when conducting discrete-event simulation
(DES) studies in construction engineering and management research. Emphasis is made on …

Abstract A reliable Decision Support System (DSS), particularly in the construction domain,
can be driven by quality input information. Although vision-based methods have been widely …

Construction companies are increasingly utilizing sensing technologies to automatically
record different steps of the construction process in detail for effective monitoring and …

Asset managers are facing the challenges of shrinking budgets from one side and the
increasing frequency and impact of disturbances on their assets from the other side. To …

Temporal dilemmas are observed between the short-term incentives of the asset managers,
as agents, versus the long-term resilience driven goals of the organisations, who own and …

In this paper, a system-of-systems (SoS) framework is proposed for bottom-up assessment of
complex engineering projects. Two principles of SoS analysis (ie, base-level abstraction and …
