Measuring and evaluating project progress and performance are the key element of the construction project success. Construction progress is typically measured quantitatively by evaluating cost and time allocated to the project deliverable, and thus properly integrating cost and time is essential to the project management. This research was performed to propose an alternative methodology to integrate the cost and time and provide a framework for the progress measurement. The researchers developed a typical work process for the cost and schedule planning and also developed an alternative cost-schedule integration method by using progress integration units (PIU). A discipline of a construction phase served as a common level for WBS and CBS integration, so the PIUs'were defined under discipline. A case study project was selected to validate the developed methodology. The result showed the proposed method improved efficiency of cost and time integration. The result also showed the excluding material for the progress measurement purpose significantly reduced the bias of progress measurement.

As time-variant reliability approaches become increasingly used for service life prediction of the aging infrastructure, the demand for computer solution methods continues to increase. Effcient computer techniques have become well established for the reliability analysis of structural systems. Thus far, however, this is largely limited to time-invariant reliability problems. Therefore, the requirements for time-variant reliability prediction of deteriorating structural systems under time-variant loads have remained incomplete. This study presents a computer program for $\underline{REL}$iability of $\underline{T}$ime-Variant $\underline{SYS}$tems, RELTSYS. This program uses a combined technique of adaptive importance sampling, numerical integration, and fault tree analysis to compute time-variant reliabilities of individual components and systems. Time-invariant quantities are generated using Monte Carlo simulation, whereas time-variant quantities are evaluated using numerical integration. Load distribution and post-failure redistribution are considered using fault tree analysis. The strengths and limitations of RELTSYS are presented via a numerical example.

Uniformity is a key feature of state-of-the-art infrared focal planed array (IRFPA) and infrared imaging system. Unlike traditional infrared telescope facility, a ground-based infrared radiant characteristics measurement system with an IRFPA not only provides a series of high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) infrared image but also ensures the validity of radiant measurement data. Normally, a long integration time tends to produce a high SNR infrared image for infrared radiant characteristics radiometry system. In view of the variability of and uncertainty in the measured target's energy, the operation of switching the integration time and attenuators usually guarantees the guality of the infrared radiation measurement data obtainted during the infrared radiant characteristics radiometry process. Non-uniformity correction (NUC) coefficients in a given integration time are often applied to a specified integration time. If the integration time is switched, the SNR for the infrared imaging will degenerate rapidly. Considering the effect of the SNR for the infrared image and the infrared radiant characteristics radiometry above, we propose a-wide-dynamic-range NUC algorithm. In addition, this essasy derives and establishes the mathematical modal of the algorithm in detail. Then, we conduct verification experiments by using a ground-based MWIR(Mid-wave Infared) radiant characteristics radiometry system with an Ø400 mm aperture. The experimental results obtained using the proposed algorithm and the traditional algorithm for different integration time are compared. The statistical data shows that the average non-uniformity for the proposed algorithm decreased from 0.77% to 0.21% at 2.5 ms and from 1.33% to 0.26% at 5.5 ms. The testing results demonstrate that the usage of suggested algorithm can improve infrared imaging quality and radiation measurement accuracy.

A new finite element equation is derived by applying quadratic and cubic time integration scheme to the variational formulation in time-integral for the analysis of the transient elastodynamic problems to increase the numerical accuracy and stability. Emphasis is focused on methodology for cubic time integration scheme procedure which are never presented before. In this semidiscrete approximations of the field variables, the time axis is divided equally and quadratic and cubic time variation is assumed in those intervals, and space is approximated by the usual finite element discretization technique. It is found that unconditionally stable numerical results are obtained in case of the cubic time variation. Some numerical examples are given to show the versatility of the presented formulation.

Explicit numerical integration methods for power system transient stability simulation require very small time steps to avoid numerical instability. The EXST1 exciter model is a primary source of fast dynamics in power system transients. In case of the EXST1, the required small integration time step for entire system simulation increases the computational demands in terms of running time and storage. This paper presents a practical exciter model reduction approach which allows the increase of the required step size and thus the method can decrease the computational demands. The fast dynamics in the original EXST1 are eliminated in the reduced exciter model. The use of a larger time step improves the computational efficiency. This paper describes the way to eliminate the fast dynamics from the original exciter model based on linear system theory. In order to validate the performance of the proposed method, case studies with the GSO-37 bus system are provided. Comparisons between the original and reduced models are made in simulation accuracy and critical clearing time.

This paper presents a new method for finding the Block Pulse series coefficients, deriving the Block Pulse integration operational matrices and generalizing the integration operational matrices which are necessary for the control fields using the Block Pulse functions. In order to apply the Block Pulse function technique to the problems of state estimation or parameter identification more efficiently, it is necessary to find the more exact value of the Block Pulse series coefficients and integral operational matrices. This paper presents the method for improving the accuracy of the Block Pulse series coefficients and derives generalized integration operational matrix and applied the matrix to the analysis of linear time-invariant system.

In this paper, we consider the stability of time-delayed linear systems. To derive an LMI form of result, the integral inequality is essential, and Jensen's integral inequality was the best in the last two decades until Seuret's integral inequality is appeared recently. However, these two are proportional to the inverse of integration interval, so another integral inequality is needed to make it in the form of LMI. In this paper, we derive an integral inequality which is proportional to the integration interval which can be easily converted into LMI form without any other inequality. Also, it is shown that Seuret's integral inequality is a special case of our result. Next, based on this new integral inequality, we derive a stability condition in the form of LMI. Finally, we show, by well-known two examples, that our result is less conservative than the recent results.

At frequencies above 10 GHz, rain is a dominant propagation phenomenon on satellite link attenuation. The prediction of rain attenuation is based on the point rainfall rate for 0.01 % of an average year with one minute integration time. Most of available rain data have been measured with 60 minutes integration time, and many researchers have been studying on converting the rainfall rate data from various integration times to one minute integration time. This paper proposes a new Multiple Regression model for the conversion, and the proposed schemes show better performance than the existing schemes.

In this paper, the real time simulation of continuous dynamic system was performed by general integration algorithms using multiprocessor. For the stable simulation, the relation between stability of integration method and integration step-size was investigated from the stability graph. As a typical illustration, the real-time digital simulation and the real-time hard-ware-in-the-loop simulation of flight control system were performed and reviewed. Moreover through the real-time simulation, the design verification and performace test of flight control system could be evaluated. The computer used for simulation is AD10, which is a very high-speed special-purpose computer designed specifically for a time-critical simulation of large and complex models of dynamic systems. The simulation validity is demonstrated by comparing hardware simulation results with software simulation results.

When we conduct development of a large-size SI project, it is highly necessary to utilize an appropriate application framework which helps to build a qualified software with high productivity in a short period of time. In this paper, we propose the architecture of a dynamically reconfigurable CBD application integration framework that has been used for developing large-scale e-business applications to achieve high development productivity and maintainability. This Integration framework can easily extend its functionalities, and dynamically change its configuration during run time according to the business category, such as applying interaction patterns among main components in software architecture, rules, policies, and environmental parameters. Dynamic reconfiguration has the feature to make applications be easily customized for changeable requirements. Through our application integration framework, huge sizes of contents can be managed according to the business category as well, by keeping configuration informations and huge volumes of source codes. In order to evaluate out application integration framework in terms of performance criteria, we present experimental results of throughputs from the framework by yielding dynamic configuration without any performance degradation.
