Re-thinking post-contract cost controlling techniques in the Nigerian construction industry (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Omotayo, T., & Kulatunga, U. (2016, July). Re-thinking post-contract cost controlling techniques in the Nigerian construction industry. Presented at The 5th World Construction Symposium 2016, Sri Lanka

The challenges of cost and time overruns, construction disputes and client dissatisfaction have plagued the construction industry in Nigeria. This may be as a result of the approaches used in monitoring construction costs. The execution phase of a co...

PAbAC : a privacy preserving attribute based framework for fine grained access control in clouds (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Belguith, S., Kaaniche, N., Jemai, A., Laurent, M., & Attia, R. (2016, July). PAbAC : a privacy preserving attribute based framework for fine grained access control in clouds. Presented at 13th International Conference on Security and Cryptography - SECRPYT 2016, Lisbon, Portugal

Several existing access control solutions mainly focus on preserving confidentiality of stored data from unauthorized access and the storage provider. Moreover, to keep sensitive user data confidential against untrusted servers, existing solutions u...

Progressive collapse resisting mechanisms of reinforced concrete structures (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Alogla, K., Weekes, L., & Augusthus Nelson, L. (2016, July). Progressive collapse resisting mechanisms of reinforced concrete structures. Presented at New Trends on Integrity, Reliability and Failure, Porto/Portugal

Reinforced concrete (RC) buildings may be vulnerable to progressive collapse due to lack of sufficient continuous reinforcement. Progressive collapse is a situation when local failure is followed by collapse of adjoining members, which in turn caus...

Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tezel, B., Aziz, Z., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2016, July). Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector. Presented at 24th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction., Boston, USA

This paper explores the benefits of Visual Management (VM), a fundamental sensory information management strategy in the lean production system, in the transportation sector in England. Lean construction and VM have recently gained momentum in Englan... Read More about Benefits of visual management in the transportation sector.

Visual management condition in highways construction projects in England (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Tezel, B., Aziz, Z., Koskela, L., & Tzortzopoulos Fazenda, P. (2016, July). Visual management condition in highways construction projects in England. Presented at 24th Annual Conference of the International Group for Lean Construction, Boston, USA

Lean construction has recently gained momentum in England’s highways construction supply chain. The literature indicates that the current view to Visual Management (VM) within those lean implementations is limited to some VM tools. This paper explore...

Towards the development of an EIT-based stretchable sensor for multi-touch industrial human-computer interaction systems (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Russo, S., Nefti-Meziani, S., Gulrez, T., Carbonaro, N., & Tognetti, A. (2016, July). Towards the development of an EIT-based stretchable sensor for multi-touch industrial human-computer interaction systems. Presented at 8th International Conference on Cross-Cultural Design, Toronto, Canada

In human-computer interaction studies, an interaction is often considered as a kind of information or discrete internal states of an individual that can be transmitted in a loss-free manner from people to computing interfaces (or robotic interfaces)...

A new strategy for case-based reasoning retrieval using classification based on association (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Aljuboori, A., Meziane, F., & Parsons, D. (2016, July). A new strategy for case-based reasoning retrieval using classification based on association. Presented at 12th International Conference on Machine Learning and Data Mining, New York, USA

This paper proposes a novel strategy, Case-Based Reasoning Using Association Rules (CBRAR) to improve the performance of the Similarity base Retrieval SBR, classed frequent pattern trees FP-CAR algorithm, in order to disambiguate wrongly retrieved ca...

Semantic aware Bayesian network model for actionable knowledge discovery in linked data (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Alharbi, H., & Saraee, M. (2016, July). Semantic aware Bayesian network model for actionable knowledge discovery in linked data. Presented at 12th International Conference, MLDM 2016, New York, NY, USA

The majority of the conventional mining algorithms treat the mining process as an isolated data-driven procedure and overlook the semantic of the targeted data. As a result, the generated patterns are abundant and end users cannot act upon them seaml... Read More about Semantic aware Bayesian network model for actionable knowledge discovery in linked data.

The maturation of a low-impact building : post occupancy evaluation : post occupancy evaluation of daylighting and the thermal environment over 2 years (2016)
Presentation / Conference
Al-Maiyah, S., Elkadi, H., & Martinson, B. (2016, July). The maturation of a low-impact building : post occupancy evaluation : post occupancy evaluation of daylighting and the thermal environment over 2 years. Presented at Passive and Low Energy Architecture 2016, Los Angeles

Post occupancy evaluations (POEs) are regularly carried out in various types of building to assess whether the building is meeting the demand of its users and to collect information that may be useful for design of similar buildings in the future. Th... Read More about The maturation of a low-impact building : post occupancy evaluation : post occupancy evaluation of daylighting and the thermal environment over 2 years.
