It is now possible, using computers, to 'build' a hospital without laying a single brick. John Bolton, Chief Works Officer and Director General of Works, DHSS, describes the development of a suite of programs through which architects, engineers, surveyors and planners can co-ordinate their wor...
The second paper deals with the use of well known linear programs, previously confined to relatively limited use on mainframe computers, for the management of engineered construction using microcomputers. An aggregate blending example is presented. The next paper is an assessment of the application of...
The continuing trend toward lower priced small digital computers makes them increasingly attractive for use in process control and data acquisition systems. In these applications, the jobs of scheduling the execution of the programs, maintaining priorities, and coordinating the use of input-output ...

Machine learning is one such subset that deals with writing algorithms that allow computers to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. If, for example, you want to write an algorithm to identify spam in emails, you will have to train the algorithm by exposing it to many examples ...
A compiler translates or compiles a program written in a high-level language that is suitable for human programmers into the lower-level machine language that is required by the computers. During this process, the compiler will also spot and report the obvious programmer mistakes. This paper ...
are implemented. Observations and knowledge are obtained for these endgames, which may elucidate the fundamental properties of the popular game Go. First, the optimal game values are different whenNis even and odd, regardless of whether the repetition of positions is allowed. WhenNis odd, the fir...
benefit of being able to zoom in on details. the company immediately saved money, and fewer mistakes were made. 8 in addition to the tablets, the innovation team also invested in test field kiosks at job sites—sophisticated computers with large screens for complex 3d modeling and for viewing...
International Conference on Computers and Games 2644 Accesses Abstract Temporal difference (TD) learning has been used to learn strong evaluation functions in a variety of two-player games. TD-gammon illustrated how the combination of game tree search and learning methods can achieve grand-master le...
Rising use of mobile functionality:The construction industry usually requires to spend a significant amount of time out at a worksite, away from computers or desktops. Therefore, using construction scheduling software programs integrated with mobile apps is an area of increasing focus as it helps emp...
