A BIM-Based Flexible Flow Shop Framework for Scheduling Linear Infrastructure Projects by ElBassuony, Mahmoud Mohamed

“…Traditional scheduling techniques, such as Critical Path Method (CPM) and Line of Balance (LOB), are less efficient for scheduling dynamic, complex, and multi-objective projects. There are more advanced scheduling methods that can be applied as a decision-making process to determine the optimal timing of activities and achieve other objectives. …”

A thermofluid network-based methodology for integrated simulation of heat transfer and combustion in a pulverized coal-fired furnace by van Der Meer, Willem Arie

“…Coal-fired power plant boilers consist of several complex subsystems that all need to work together to ensure plant availability, efficiency and safety, while limiting emissions. Analysing this multi-objective problem requires a thermofluid process model that can simulate the water/steam cycle and the coal/air/flue gas cycle for steady-state and dynamic operational scenarios, in an integrated manner. …”

Modified force/displacement-based procedure for performance-based seismic design of regular RC frames by ElKassas, Soha Hassan Nashaat

“…Using the traditional force-based seismic design method for this purpose, though simple and easy, will be inefficient because it designs structures to only one performance objective (which is life safety), and any other performance objective would be part of the drift check that follows the design, which will result in a highly iterative process. …”
