Bid mark-up selection using artificial neural networks and an entropy metric
(2010)
The purpose of the paper is to perform bid mark-up optimisation through the use of artificial neural networks (ANN) and a metric of the selected bid mark-up's derived entropy. The scope is to provide an alternative, ...
The Science in Human Intuition: Optimum Bid Markup Calculations in Competitive Bidding Environments Using Probabilistic Neural Networks
(2000)
The study presented in this paper seeks the development of a model to be used by the construction industry for optimum bid markup calculations in static and non-static competitive bidding environments. The framework presented ...
Disorder considerations in resource-constrained scheduling
A method is presented for allocating resources to construction activities and for scheduling construction projects under resource constraints by considering the effects that such resource limitations may have on the tendency ...
Modeling and analysis of urban water distribution networks during intermittent water supply periods
(2016)
The paper presents a mathematical model that simulates the behavior of the urban water distribution networks (UWDN) during a period of intermittent water supply (IWS) and investigates the effects of such policies on the ...
