Applying Constraint Satisfaction Neural Networks to Multiple Views' Data Partitioning in Building Engineering
A typical building engineering process involves multiple project participants and several computer applications. These participants and applications have their own views of the underlying...

Knowledge-Based Creation of an Architectural 3-D Model from 2-D Drawings
This study is an extension of an earlier work on creating a 3-D model from 2-D drawings. The objective of this current work is to explore the issues involved in creating a prototype knowledge-based...

Constraint Management in Distributed AEC Databases
Engineering databases can assist in management of massive amounts of design data involved in Architecture-Engineering and Construction (AEC) process. This data needs to be distributed...

Using an Object-Oriented System and a Conceptual Building Model to Represent Architectural Information During Early Design Phases
In this paper we are to present an object-oriented system based on a conceptual building model for handling architectural information during early design phases. This system and model...

Classifying Constructability Information
Integration of constructability information in the early stages of a project is known to provide significant savings opportunities for cost and schedule. One critical part of such a program...

Architectural Integration of APM Systems at Leonardo Da Vinci International Airport
Leonardo da Vinci International Airport is a major airport located near Rome at Fiumicino, Italy. This location has made it a popular destination for terminating flights, as well as a...

Keeping the Books: A Taxing Task
Keeping two sets of financial books used to be considered a criminal act. Now it may mean survival for building contractors. Construction contractors are faced with the challenge of following...

On Distributed Processing Applications in Finite Element Analysis
Computer architectures may be classified by the relationship between their instruction and data streams (SISD, SIMD, MISD, MIMD) and the locality of memory (shared, local). Distributed...

Lunar Base Requirements for Human Habitability
This paper presents some of the requirements for lunar surface habitation. Emphasis is placed on human factor and environment-behavior requirements that impact on habitability for medium-duration...

The Application of Open System Architecture to Planetary Surface Systems
This paper investigates the issues that future planet surface activities must confront, defines the basic concepts that provide the basis for establishing an Open System Architecture,...

Lunar Surface Mining Equipment Study
In response to the Space Exploration Initiative (SEI), a large number of lunar base scenarios have been proposed by various members of the research community. The National Aeronautics...

SEI In-Space Operations and Support Challenges
The initial architectures and mission concepts for Space Exploration Initiative (SEI) are being studied to expand the manned space exploration capability. To support assessment of operational...

Architectures for Mission Control at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
One of the most vital, but often overlooked, research areas for space missions is flight operations. The imbalance is caused by many factors. Among them, the manner in which space missions...

An Operational Evaluation Process for Long-Duration Mission Habitats in Space
In preparation for long-duration manned spaceflight into the 21st Century, the ergonomical and psychological aspects of space habitat architectures are being investigated in Europe. Used...
