A group decision support system for implementing value management methodology in construction briefing

This paper describes a group decision support system (GDSS) developed in response to the need of a computer supported collaborative work environment for implementing the value management (VM) methodology in construction briefing. The GDSS is based on the VM methodology that allows a client to define and represent his or her requirements with functions and functional performance, to bring forward ideas to achieve the functions, and finally to evaluate and highlight the ideas against the functional performance for further development in design. The conceptual framework, design, implementation, use of the GDSS are addressed and described in that order. The system is complementally evaluated through a field study and an experimental study. It is concluded that the GDSS can effectively facilitate the implementation of VM in construction briefing. In addition, the GDSS has big potential to improve the performance of VM studies in terms of the enhanced participation and interaction, the shortened time for tasks, and the improved satisfaction with VM workshops. Research limitations and knowledge contribution of this study are also discussed.     

A regulation evaluation system: a decision support system for the Building Code of Australia

Building regulations have historically been developed and drafted relying on groups of experts and their particular perceptions of what was an acceptable level of risk and what costs can be afforded by the community for improved health, safety or amenity. New technology, particularly in the areas of building design and material sciences, and the development of performance-based standards and codes are demanding major changes to the way in which regulations are developed and how they are assessed to ensure that any changes are in the community's interest. The regulation evaluation system described here provides a computer-based framework on which proposed changes to the Building Code of Australia (BCA) may be systematically assessed. The system requires any proposal to amend the BCA to be clearly identified together with all alternatives which achieve the desired objective. Direct costs and benefits are identified and quantified, making use of internal and external data. Where there is inefficient data, stochastic modelling is employed. The system not only aids decision makers by providing all available information, it also provides a transparency to the decision making and regulation development process.     

A wireless structural monitoring system with embedded damage algorithms and decision support system

A wireless structural monitoring system was designed and built to accommodate multiple sensors and provide alerts through a decision support system. In this paper we describe the main features of the system and present the results of its application to a laboratory test. The test was a quarter scale four-span three-pier bridge subjected to gradually increasing earthquake motion with white noise excitations between the strong motions conducted at the University of Nevada, Reno. Autoregressive (AR) models were used to characterise the signals collected from the test and damage was identified through Gaussian mixture models. Damage was quantified using the Mahalanobis distance between undamaged and various damage states of the bridge. The experiment provided a proof of concept for the wireless system and its multitude of features. The analysis of the data demonstrated that the algorithm is capable of identifying the progression of damage and showed good agreement between the measured and observed damage states.     

基于网络协同的建设项目价值管理系统

价值管理(Value Management,VM)是降低建设项目成本和改善项目执行效率和质量的一个重要途径,然而,VM在我国建设领域中还存在应用不足、认识不够、相关法律法规不完善以及成效不显著等问题。由于工作计划不同、技术手段差异以及不支持远程协同等因素的影响,针对香港建设领域开发的交互式价值管理系统(IVMS)难以直接应用于内地。为此,本文在IVMS基础上,提出了适用于我国建设领域VM实践的价值管理系统IVMS-CN。IVMS-CN是一个基于网络协同的群体决策支持系统,它由网络通讯平台、协同平台和管理平台等三部分组成,能够为用户提供一个远程协作环境和群体决策支持平台,实现远程参与VM研究,并促进参与者之间的信息交流和共享,减少过程损失,增加信息增益,从而实现VM研究效率与质量的提高。

A hybrid decision support system for sustainable office building renovation and energy performance improvement

Energy consumption of buildings accounts for around 20-40% of all energy consumed in advanced countries. Over the last decade, more and more global organizations are investing significant resources to create sustainably built environments, emphasizing sustainable building renovation processes to reduce energy consumption and carbon dioxide emissions. This study develops an integrated decision support system to assess existing office building conditions and to recommend an optimal set of sustainable renovation actions, considering trade-offs between renovation cost, improved building quality, and environmental impacts. A hybrid approach that combines A* graph search algorithm with genetic algorithms (GA) is used to analyze all possible renovation actions and their trade-offs to develop the optimal solution. A two-stage system validation is performed to demonstrate the practical application of the hybrid approach: zero-one goal programming (ZOGP) and genetic algorithms are adopted to validate the effectiveness of the algorithm. A real-world renovation project is introduced to validate differences in energy performance projected for the renovation solution suggested by the system. The results reveal that the proposed hybrid system is more computationally effective than either ZOGP or GA alone. The system's suggested renovation actions would provide substantial energy performance improvements to the real project if implemented.     

The effect of using group decision support systems in value management studies: An experimental study in Hong Kong

A group decision support system (GDSS) can be helpful to VM users overcome difficulties in value management (VM) workshops. A web-based GDSS known as interactive value management system (IVMS) is introduced in this paper. A comparative experimental study is undertaken to investigate the extent to which the use of IVMS can improve the performance of VM workshops by using a competing value approach (CVA). This study compares and contrasts the performance of a traditional VM workshop with an IVMS-supported VM workshop in three aspects: (1) process measures, (2) outcome measures, and (3) participants’ satisfaction. The process measures indicate that IVMS is helpful in improving the efficiency, information reliability and supportability of decision and participation process, while the outcome measures show groups supported by IVMS perform better in ideas generations. The results also indicate that the use of GDSS results in increasing participant satisfaction.     

Aspects of decision support in water management--example Berlin and Potsdam (Germany) II--improvement of management strategies

Methods related to partial order theory such as the Hasse diagram technique (HDT) are increasingly used in the field of multi-criteria decision support. The HDT has the advantage of being a transparent evaluation tool, supported by several data analysis tools such as the concept of antagonistic indicators. However, the evaluation usually does not lead to a clear decision, because more than one possible solution is offered. In the example presented here, three of the nine water management strategies (scenarios) evaluated by HDT were identified as winners. However, these strategies were not comparable with each other because of the conflicting evaluation of at least two different indicators. Such antagonisms describe the advantage and disadvantage of each scenario. Based on this background information, a new innovative approach is demonstrated, enabling the stakeholders to design new, modified management strategies, with reduced negative effects. After improvement of the three potential solutions, one clear winner scenario could be identified.

A neurofuzzy spatial decision support system for pipe replacement prioritisation

Spatial Decision Support Systems (SDSS) represent an attempt to assist in the decision making process by a set of intelligent, knowledge-based techniques and as such have an increasingly important role to play as the data required for spatially sensitive decisions become more available in a wide range of problem areas. The urban environment is a complex, spatially sensitive decision-making environment and as such an ideal case study for the application of these techniques and tools. Building knowledge into a system, particularly through linguistic modelling, is a challenge. This paper briefly discusses the development of such an SDSS based on fuzzy inference and describes techniques enabling the incorporation of both expert judgement and field evidence, where available, in an effort to address one of the main criticisms of linguistic (fuzzy) modelling: that of subjectivity.
