In this paper, we present a computerized method as an add-in to MS Project (TM) for risk identification and estimation of delay. A delay analysis ontology is incorporated so that the users can identify causes of delay at the activity level and assess frequency and impact of risks using their previous experience, expertise and judgement. Testing and validation findings demonstrate that the software is easy to use and gives reliable results. Decision-makers can use this software during risk identification and planning phases to incorporate their judgment about potential risk sources that may lead to project delay. The outputs of the software make it easy for decision-makers to understand the level of delay risk at the activity level, explore how criticality of activities may change under different risk occurrence scenarios and estimate amount of delay. By utilizing the software, effective risk response and allocation strategies may be formulated to mitigate the delay risk and communicate delay risk information between various project participants.

A simulated annealing approach to bicriteria scheduling problems on a single machine Karasakal, Esra (2000-08-01) In this paper, we apply a simulated annealing approach to two bicriteria scheduling problems on a single machine. The first problem is the strongly NP-hard problem of minimizing total flowtime and maximum earliness. The second one is the NP-hard problem of minimizing total flowtime and number of tardy jobs. We experiment on different neighbourhood structures as well as other parameters of the simulated annealing approach to improve its performance. Our computational experiments show that the developed appro...
A fast and optimal static segment scheduling method for FlexRay v3.0 ÇAKMAK, CUMHUR; Schmidt, Şenan Ece; Schmidt, Klaus Verner (2017-06-29) We propose a novel and fast frame scheduling method for the Static Segment (SS) of the new in-vehicle network standard FlexRay v3.0 in this paper. The proposed methods assigns frames to the SS using the minimum number of time slots based on an Integer Linear Programming formulation. Different. from the existing method in the literature, the proposed method computes optimal frame schedules within miliseconds.
A method for decentralized business process modeling Türetken, Oktay; Demirörs, Onur; Department of Information Systems (2007) This thesis study proposes a method for organizations to perform business process modeling in a decentralized and concurrent manner. The Plural method is based on the idea that organizations’ processes can be modeled by individuals actually performing the processes. Instead of having a central and devoted group of people to understand, analyze, model and improve processes, individuals are held responsible to model and improve their own processes concurrently. These individual models are then integrated to f...
A neuro-fuzzy MAR algorithm for temporal rule-based systems Sisman, NA; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur; Akman, V (1999-08-04) This paper introduces a new neuro-fuzzy model for constructing a knowledge base of temporal fuzzy rules obtained by the Multivariate Autoregressive (MAR) algorithm. The model described contains two main parts, one for fuzzy-rule extraction and one for the storage of extracted rules. The fuzzy rules are obtained from time series data using the MAR algorithm. Time-series analysis basically deals with tabular data. It interprets the data obtained for making inferences about future behavior of the variables. Fu...
A multicriteria sorting approach based on data envelopment analysis for R&D project selection problem Karasakal, Esra (Elsevier BV, 2017-12-01) In this paper, multiple criteria sorting methods based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) are developed to evaluate research and development (R&D) projects. The weight intervals of the criteria are obtained from Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process and employed as the assurance region constraints of models. Based on data envelopment analysis, two threshold estimation models, and five assignment models are developed for sorting. In addition to sorting, these models also provide ranking of the projects. The de...
