In the resent years, the importance of VE (value engineering) and LCC (life cycle cost) analysis for apartment building construction projects has been fully recognized. Accordingly theoretical models, guidelines, and supporting software systems were developed for the value engineering and life cycle cost analysis for construction management including large building systems. However, the level of consensus on VE and LCC analysis results is still low due to the lack of reliable data on maintenance. This paper presents time dependent LCC model based value analysis method for rational investment decision making and design alternative selection for construction of apartment building. The proposed method incorporates a time dependent LCC model and a performance evaluation technique by fuzzy logic theory to properly handle the uncertainties associated with statistics data and to analyze the value of alternatives more rationally. The presented time dependent VE and LCC analysis procedure were applied to a real world project, and this case study is discussed in the paper. The model and the procedure presented in this study can greatly contribute to design value engineering alternative selection, the estimation of the life cycle cost, and the allocation of budget for apartment building construction projects.

In this paper, an integrated management software is developed to promote the business competitive power. The interoperability among the software accounts for an ever growing performance of petrochemical plant project. If the interoperability is built up, company has taken advantages of quality, schedule, cost, and safety by active communication. The advantage of an integrated management software is examined in three aspects. In efficiency aspect, It takes advantage of the saving about the various information and the standard of project performance procedure. In quality, the integration gave aid to a quality improvement through team collaboration and data management within project life cycle. In cost, poor communications between systems waste 30% of project costs. If information could be inputted once and used by all, reductions in delivery time up to 40% were possible. Therefore, 10% savings of engineering cost was also possible.

The development of a Pay Adjustment (PA) procedure for implementing Performance-related Specifications (PRS) is known to be a difficult task faced by most State Highway Agencies (SHAs) due to the difficulty in such areas as selecting pay factor items, modeling the relationship between stochastic variability of pay factor items and pavement performance, and determining an overall lot pay adjustment. This led to the need for an effective way of developing a scientific pay adjustment procedure by incorporating Life Cycle Cost Analysis (LCCA) embedded Monte Carlo approach. In this work, we propose a prototype system to determine a PA specifically using the data in the pavement management information systems at Wisconsin Department of Transportation (WisDOT) as an exemplary to other SHAs. It is believed that the PRS methodology demonstrated in this study can be used in real projects by incorporating the more accurate and reliable performance prediction models and LCC model.

Studying the major wars of the past seventy years, the most fundamental change is the transition of weapon systems to one of convergence and cutting edge / state of the arts technology. Such transition is creating a need for drastic reforms of the weapon systems development process especially in areas of / in regards to effective utilization of IT, reduction of development period, precise establishing of operational concept and, management of required operational capability(ROC). In particular, establishing an accurate operational concept for a new weapon system and efficient management of ROC based on this operational concept is a prerequisite for a low-cost and high-efficiency weapon systems development and in the end, a successful construction of military forces. This paper examines the current management procedure of the ROC of the Korean military and proposes improvements to the procedure while taking into consideration issues of elicitation, analysis and validation of requirements engineering.

We evaluated structured web site contents construct method. The method for construction web contents was considered. The construction procedure is as follows. Elicit "user requirement" and the web management side needs. Mark a check where each line and row corresponds to clarify the relation between both in the matrix by which user requirements and the purposes are arranged in lines and rows. To understand the systematic feature of the web site itself, "grasping information" and "structuring" are necessary. We actually constructed web site contents of a theatrical company using this method. and we got the construction of existing web site contents of another theatrical company. We compared our constructed web site contents with the existing web site contents. Finally, we evaluated this method and testified that this method is useful.

In this paper, a new GA-based methodology with information granules is suggested for construction of the fuzzy classifier. We deal with the selection of the fuzzy region as well as two major classification problems-the feature selection and the pattern classification. The proposed method consists of three steps: the selection of the fuzzy region, the construction of the fuzzy sets, and the tuning of the fuzzy rules. The genetic algorithms (GAs) are applied to the development of the information granules so as to decide the satisfactory fuzzy regions. Finally, the GAs are also applied to the tuning procedure of the fuzzy rules in terms of the management of the misclassified data (e.g., data with the strange pattern or on the boundaries of the classes). To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, an example-the classification of the Iris data, is provided.
