In a very competitive construction business environment there is a need to measure and manage business performance across a wider spectrum of business success criteria. The Balanced Scorecard (BSC) and Triple Bottom Line (TBL) reporting concepts are emerging as champions in the race for sustainable business success. The construction business organisations are often judged based on their financial performance as well as wider performance. This paper aims at developing a universally accepted tool for assessing contractors' wider business performance in the construction industry. A prototype of web-based business performance measurement system has been developed to help contractors assess their own performance aimed at uplifting their performance. The consultants/clients can also use the tool to measure contractors' performance in a value-based contractor selection. The system was developed based on the research conducted among 63 senior construction professionals and therefore further research with the participation of a large number of managers across different countries and also an upgrade of the system will be required.

The Construction Industry Institute (CII) developed the Project Definition Rating Index (PDRI), as a part of their Front End Planning best practices, which helps project managers assess and measure project scope definition risk elements. U.S. Green Building Council are seeing the benefits of sustainable building and Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design certification by positively impacting life cycle costs, building marketability, and organizational productivity. However, there have been no efforts to integrate these two planning tools in construction industry. By applying a supplemental tool which combines the PDRI with the LEED rating system, construction industry can develop and implement a tailored instrument that leads to total project success in sustainability. The objective of this research is to assemble a new front end planning mechanism for green buildings by incorporating the current PDRI and LEED systems.

Green construction has increasingly become a popular concept and standardization in the world. This paper presents an overview of a Vietnamese green building rating tool named LOTUS. This paper also presents some major similarities and differences between LOTUS and other well-known green rating tools. The interviews with some experts and practitioners about Green buildings in Vietnam have twofold aims. One is to help better understand the causes of the differences under practitioners' viewpoints. The second aim is to uncover the opportunities and the difficulties that the project stakeholders may encounter upon the implementation of Green Building construction projects in Vietnam.

국제적인 규제와 정부차원의 지원과 관리가 이뤄지고 있음에도 불구하고 기관 등에서는 여전히 소프트웨어자산에 대한 인식과 관리 소홀의 문제점을 안고 있다. 이는 관리해야 할 소프트웨어자산 범위의 모호함과 소프트웨어의 특성상 복사 및 설치가 쉽고 눈에 보이지 않아 관리 자체가 어렵기 때문이다. 즉 기업내 소프트웨어관리자는 구매부터 조달, 배포, 유지, 처분까지의 전체적인 소프트웨어 라이프사이클의 각 단계별로 수시로 변화되는 정보를 정확히 일치시키기가 쉽지 않다는 문제점이 있다. 따라서 이를 해결하기 위해서는 점검용 시스템 개발이 필요하며 점검용 시스템 성능향상을 위해 소프트웨어의 권리관리 정보의 표준화 및 레지스트리 정보 활용이 필요하다.

With regard to the indolent clinical characteristics of prostate cancer (PCa), the more selective detection of clinically significant PCa (CSC) has been emphasized in its diagnosis and management. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has advanced technically, and recent international cooperation has provided a standardized imaging and reporting system for prostate MRI. Accordingly, prostate MRI has recently been investigated and utilized as a triage tool before biopsy to guide tissue sampling to increase the detection rate of CSC beyond the staging tool for patients in whom PCa was already confirmed on conventional systematic biopsy. Radiologists must understand the current paradigm shift for better PCa diagnosis and management. This article reviewed the recent literature, demonstrating the diagnostic value of pre-biopsy prostate MRI with targeted biopsy and discussed unsolved issues regarding the paradigm shift in the diagnosis of PCa.

In this paper, we provide a mathematical formulation to describe the random mobility of users in cellular radio systems. With this, we can also study tile cell sojourn time (CST) distribution as well as the channel holding time (CHT) distribution. The study on user mobility enables to improve the resource management in cellular radio systems. We provide a versatile analysis tool that improves the limit of simplified analyses.

The main goal of this research is automatic video analysis using a face recognition technique. In this paper, an automatic video management system is introduced with a variety of functions enabled, such as index, edit, summarize, and retrieve multimedia data. The automatic management tool utilizes MPEG-7 visual descriptors to generate a video index for creating a summary. The resulting index generates a preview of a movie, and allows non-linear access with thumbnails. In addition, the index supports the searching of shots similar to a desired one within saved video sequences. Moreover, a face recognition technique is utilized to personalbased video summarization and indexing in stored video data.
