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

The complexity and uncertain nature of bridge construction projects require simulation for
analyzing and planning these projects. On the other hand, optimization can be used to …

A system for three-dimensional simulation and animation of erection processes is presented.
The system is aimed at providing detailed planning and visualization in a virtual construction …

Construction site layout changes dynamically depending on the progress of construction
activities in ways that may constrain access routes and paths of mobile resources. Discrete …

This paper presents the methodology used to model the learning development phenomenon
in the CYCLONE format using the Boeing learning curve. The learning development …
